Part Number: DP83867IS
From the DP83867's DS, it states the device supports:
IEEE 802.3 10BASE-Te, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T Specification
So the device operates in 10BASE-Te, but can it communicate with a PHY working at 10BASE-T?
For reference, the DP83822 DS states:
The DP83822 EEE supports 100 Mbps and 10 Mbps speeds. In 10BASE-Te operation, EEE operates with a reduced transmit amplitude that is fully interoperable with a 10BASE-T PHY.
From this, it seems that yes, the DP83867 can communicate with another PHY working at 10BASE-T. Is this understanding correct?
Can you point me to any material defining the differences between 10BASE-T and 10BASE-Te?
Is it just the reduced transmit amplitude, used to conserve power?

Darren
