DP83TC811R-Q1: External interface link re-connection issues after disconnect

Sven Schuchmann
Prodigy 45 points
Part Number: DP83TC811R-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DP83TC811

Hello,

we are having a strange Problem with the DP83TC811R Phy
which is connected to a lan7801. The lan7801 is connected
to a raspberrypi. We are using the Phy in Master mode.
We are facing a reconnect issue if the connected slave
is disconnected and reconnected again then the connection will
*sometimes* not be reestablished.

The strange thing is that in INT_STAT2 always "Overvoltage"
and in INT_STAT1 always "ESD Event" is set.
Also the "No Frame Detected" in INT_STAT3 is set event
there is a connection established.

Why are there NoFrame, overvoltage and ESD interrupts?

Overvoltage and ESD is almost always present.
What does overvoltage mean here? The datasheet says it's VDD. Which VDD is this?
When do you get an ESD event?

Do you think these messages are connected to not being able to sync
after the re-connect from the external interface?

I also attached our schematic.
Thanks for your help.

Best Regards,

Sven

    Hi Sven,

    I have a few questions:

    1. Can you provide a block diagram of your setup for better clarity? What device are you referring to as the slave device in your description?
    2. Since you are seeing overvoltage/ESD interrupts, can you check the voltages on the rails (at VDDA, VDDIO, diode array, etc.) when the interrupts are triggered? Are the voltages actually higher or is the interrupt providing some sort of false positive result?
    3. Can you check if any of the parts are damaged since the overvoltage/ESD interrupts were triggered?

    Regards,

    Hi Adrian,

    1. Can you provide a block diagram of your setup for better clarity? What device are you referring to as the slave device in your description?
      - As Slave, we use USB to Automotive Ethernet Adaptor, connected to a Windows PC. This Adaptor is using NXPs TJA1100 PHY.
    2. Since you are seeing overvoltage/ESD interrupts, can you check the voltages on the rails (at VDDA, VDDIO, diode array, etc.) when the interrupts are triggered? Are the voltages actually higher or is the interrupt providing some sort of false positive result?
      - The Voltages are fine. VDDA and VDDIO = 3V3, Vpp < 200mV. In Standby, Vpp < 100mV.
      It seems the Overvoltage Interrupt will be generated, when we change the voltage range
      from 010 = VDDA- 4.5%< Voltage< VDDA+ 1.5%       to      001 = VDDA+ 1.5%< Voltage< VDDA+ 9%. But i can't see this change on VDDA or VDDIO.
    3. Can you check if any of the parts are damaged since the overvoltage/ESD interrupts were triggered?

    - As far as i can see, all other Parts are working correctly.

    Best regards,

    Michael

    Hi Michael,

    Could you try to reupload the image of the block diagram? I don't see it on the thread.

    Hi Adrian,

    thank you for drawing attention.

    From DP83TC811 to the right side, the comment should be "100BASE-T1"

    Best regadrs,

    Hi Michael,

    Try the following:

    1. Can you read register 0x0448 and provide the results? The register indicates where the ESD event is detected.
    2. Can you try swapping the master/slave configuration and see if the issue is still present?

    In addition, can you provide the full schematic? You can upload it to the thread or email it to me if it cannot be publicly shared.

    The Interrupts are in both modes present. Master or Slave makes no difference.
    Also you can see, the ESD counter has still the same value, but the interrupt is still pending.

    Hi Michael,

    1. From the register data you provided, it seems that the ESD events are detected on the MDI side. Can you monitor the MDI lines and see if there are spikes that would trigger an ESD event? This could be why link is not stable.
    2. If there does not seem to be anything wrong with the MDI lines, can you try linking with a DP83TC811 EVM? Since we know the EVM can establish a stable link, if it works, you can cross-reference the EVM design with your design and see if there are major differences.

    Regards,

    Hi Adrian,

    1. Yes, it looks as we had a ESD Interrupt on MDI side.

    In my opinion, there are 2 scenarios:
    - we  have always an ESD event, which explains why there is always an interrupt pending, and the counter in register 0x0448 is not working.
    or:
    - we don't have an ESD interrupt, which explains why the counter doesn't continue counting, but the interrupt can't be cleared and is therefore pending.

    I can't imagine, that me have everytime 64 ESD pulses that we can't see the counter working.


    what do you think? did i forget to mention a possibility?

    2. I made the measurments, but i haven't seen any spikes or overvoltage/undervoltage on MDI lanes.

    Best regards,

    Michael

    Hi Michael,

    Can you try removing the ESD diode array and see if the connection issues still exists? This seems to be the biggest difference between your schematic and the EVM.

    Hi Adrian,

    I tested already with removed ESD diodes, but without success.

    We found out, that the MAC (LAN7801) detects sometime a RUNT Frame from PHY after disconnecting the "Slave" device.  Everytime this occurs, our Board isn't able to reconnect without a reset.

    Do you have any idea where these could be coming from?

    Best regards,

    Michael

    Hi Michael,

    1. Do you have an NDA with TI? There is something I can have you try but it requires an NDA.
    2. Can you try with a DP83TC811 EVM or different slave devices and see if the issues still persist?
    3. Do the issues still persist with a different or smaller length cable?

    Regards,

    Adrian Kam

    Hi Adrian,

    No, we can't try with EVM board, but we tested it with other slave devices and see the same Problem.

    The issue is also with other cable lengths present.

    We logged Rx Data, CLK and Data Valid in the moment of disabling the Slave Device

    Here we can see that we receive short Frames from PHY. We tested it multiple times, with almost the same result.

    The data isn't always the same, but the frames are everytime in this length.

    If you have any ideas, please let me know,

    Best regards,

    Michael

    Hi Michael,

    Would you be able to provide two sets of register dumps for all the registers shown in the datasheet? I would like to see the register values during normal operation and after disconnecting the slave device. Maybe some configurations changed that would cause this issue.

    Hello Adrian,

    in general we are using this driver from Linux Kernel 5.10:
    github.com/.../dp83tc811.c
    I hooked into the function dp83811_ack_interrupt() and print
    out the register states.

    1) I took the slave down, not runt frame detected by MAC from dp83811
    2) I took the salve up, normal operation resumed
    3) I took the slave down, but a runt frame was detected by the MAC from dp83811
    4) I took the salve up, no normal operation anymore

    Hi Sven,

    I'm taking a look at the register data, and I will get back to you by EOD Thursday at the latest.

    Hi Sven,

    After looking at the register data, it seems that the ESD event interrupt in register 0x0012 is no longer present. Was anything changed between now and when you saw the interrupt event? The registers also suggest that in the scenario "After slave up (failed)" that there is a link established (look at register 0x0001 and register 0x0133). Are you using the LEDs to determine if there is a connection? Since the register seem to indicate link, have you tried sending packets again in scenario 4 (after slave goes up again)?

    Regards,

    Adrian Kam

    Hello Adrian,

    after the slave up failed the phy seems to send and receive packets. From the linux side ethtool also shows me that there is a link established.
    So everything looks quite normal. Also we see packets going out of of the phy to the mac (lan7801). At this time we are looking at the mac why it does not
    seem to receive those packets anymore sent by the phy. 

    But why is the mac detecting a runt frame sent by the phy on a link change (posted screenshot above)?
    This does not look normal.

    Also why has the phy ESD and/or Overvoltage set? I think this could be part
    of the problem that somehow the communication between phy and mac breaks.

    Best Regards,

       Sven

    Hi Sven,

    1. Can you check the data to clock skew timing/settings and see if it is correct? It is possible that both the MAC and PHY introduced some skew internally, which causes the data to be sampled incorrectly.
    2. Do you take the slave down while the slave is in the middle of transmitting packets? If so, then the detected runt frame could be caused by the interrupted transmission when the slave is taken down while transmitting.
    3. You can double check the pins and see if there is an overvoltage. If I recall correctly, you did not seem to find any issues there. In the end, even if the overvoltage/ESD interrupt is set, it should not affect the functionality of the PHY if it is a false positive. Is it possible that a spike was detected on power-up and that is why the overvoltage interrupt is set?

    Regards,

    Adrian Kam
