DP83848K: DP83848K for Ethernet Compliance Testing

Part Number: DP83848K

HI,Friend,

      My PHY device is DP83848KSQ,I operate the Ethernet Compliance Testing for it.

      In order to  generate idle waveform for Compliance Testing,I used USB-to-MDIO to write 0x2100 to register 0x00,but the waveform's frequence is biger than the standard,so that  it couldn't be tested.

      I  want to know why and please provide me with some advice or document about this test.

THANKS,

Teck.

  • Hi Teck,

    Which waveform frequency is bigger than the standard? What waveform are you measuring in this instance?

    Thank you,

    Nikhil

  • HI Nikhil,

          Idle Pattern Waveform of the standard as follows:

    However, when I write 0x2100 to register 0x00 in my device DP83848KSQ, the Idle Pattern Waveform  which DP8A848KSQ generates is not same as the standard. I want to know how to obtain  eye diagram correctly.

    THANKS

    Teck.

  • Hi Teck,

    This waveform should be observed by placing a differential probe across either of the MDI pairs. Please ensure signal is terminated with a 100ohm termination. Can you paste a screenshot of the signal you are observing?

    After writing 0x2100 to register 0x0, what is the RX_CLK signal frequency? Is the waveform clean?

    Prior to link or writing register 0x0 = 0x2100, are you able to observe the FLPs?

    Thank you,

    Nikhil
