DP83630: DP83630 for Base10T test

Part Number: DP83630
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: , USB-2-MDIO

Hi,

I have some queries with regards to DP83630 testing & qualification on my application. I plan to use DP83630-EVK for this exercise but I'm unsure if the launchpad is necessary in order for me to utilize the USB-2-MDIO serial management tool? I do see that there's a USB port on DP83630-EVK hence I assume this allows me to perform register settings directly on the EVK instead of going thru Launchpad to complete this action?

On one of my test I'm trying to set transmit All bits "1" so that I may work on compliance test  on 10Base T Harmonic content test. Do let me know if this doable on EVK alone?
If yes may I know is there any resources which shows step in sequence on what Reg and value to be written to the chip. So that I could get that required output to comply with the test? 
BR,
Leo

 

  • Hi Leo,

    Yes you may refer to the user guide of the EVK. It talks about possibility of using USB directly and using "Analog Launchpad Software". Other option is to use parallel pad and launch pad with usb2mdio.

    Following app note will help with required configuration for 10BT testing :
