    [FAQ] DP83TC812S-Q1: Why is DP83Txxxx not passing compliance?

    Part Number: DP83TC812S-Q1

    Tool/software:

    For all 1000Base-T1 and 100Base-T1 compliance tests (including Interopability/link-up, PMA, PHY Control, PCS, and EMC), there is a required software configuration to pass. Note there is a separate configuration for MDI Master mode and MDI Slave mode.

    The required software configuration is described in the Application Note:

    Device Open Alliance Configuration Application Note Required Software Configuration Section PMA Test Mode Configuration Section
    DP83TC811 https://www.ti.com/lit/an/snla293/snla293.pdf  3 Software Configuration 4 Testing PMA
    DP83TC812/3/4 https://www.ti.com/lit/an/snla389b/snla389b.pdf  3 Software Configuration 4 Testing PMA
    DP83TG720 https://www.ti.com/lit/an/snla371b/snla371b.pdf  3 Software Configuration 4 Testing PMA
    DP83TG721 Available with NDA 3 Software Configuration 4 Testing PMA

    For 100Base-T1 and 1000Base-T1 PMA Compliance, there are two sets of required software configuration: (1) The previously mentioned software configuration and (2) PMA test mode configuration.

    [FAQ] DP83848Q-Q1: How to Disable 25Mhz CLKOUT Output

    Part Number: DP83848Q-Q1

    Tool/software:

    If the CLKOUT output is not used on DP83848, it may be disabled using the below register writes. This may be beneficial for EMC emissions testing, in order to minimize the energy of 25Mhz harmonics.

    0x13[0] = 1
    0x15[14] = 1

    [FAQ] DP83867E: What IPG intervals can this PHY support?

    Part Number: DP83867E

    Tool/software:

    DP83867 supports the expected 12 byte IPG at the MDI as well as lower amounts in some conditions. This number comes from IEEE802.3 section 4.4.2 which sets out that the minimum IPG for a transmitted frame is 12 bytes on the TX lines of the MAC. When the data comes to a PHY, there is a handoff of clocking domains and thus there is potential for IPG to be 11 bytes when sent on MDI line. In cases where the IPG is smaller, Reg 0x53[3:0] can help increase margin in these applications with no drawback on performance. The lowest that this can be set is to 0x3 (default is 0x5) which has been seen to support 11 IPG. Setting to 0x4 is also sufficient. Please note that this register is an extended register and thus needs 4-step process to read/write.

    [FAQ] XIO2001: MicroStar BGA Discontinuation and New nFBGA Package Designators

    Part Number: XIO2001

    Tool/software:

    Devices in the MicroStar Jr. BGA packaging were discontinued and redesigned using a laminate nFBGA package in 2020. This nFBGA package offers datasheet-equivalent electrical performance. It is also footprint equivalent to the MicroStar Jr. BGA.

    Please use the following MicroStar Jr. BGA package to laminate nFBGA package table as a reference for new designs using XIO2001.

    [FAQ] DP83867IR: Where are RX_ER and COL in DP83867IR/CR PAP?

    Part Number: DP83867IR

    Tool/software:

    RX_ER and COL in SNLS484G should be in pins 54 and 55, respectively. In this document, there is a typo where these pin numbers are omitted.

    [FAQ] TUSB2E221: How do I update my PCB design from using the TUSB2E22 to the TUSB2E221?

    Part Number: TUSB2E221

    Tool/software:

    The TUSB2E221 is the latest 2-port eUSB2 repeater.  Released in 2024, it contains updates that allow it to conform to the latest eUSB2 v1.2 specification as well as adding many new features that were unavailable in the TUSB2E22:

    • Support for eUSB2 auto-resume ECR as well as L2 interrupt resume mode
    • Compliance to eUSB2 revision 1.2 specification
    • Selection between 1.2V and 1.8V I/O control or I2C levels using VIOSEL pin
    • I2C device interface for more configurations and debug capabilities
    • CTA-936 USB Carkit UART support
    • Optional BC1.2 CDP battery charging and detection support

    To take advantage of these new features some changes are required in existing designs transitioning from the TUSB2E22 to the TUSB2E221 repeater using the WCSP (YCG) package.

    No change if 1.8V I/O is desired.  To update I/O voltage to 1.2V, tie to GND.

    E3

    EQ1

    EQ1

    Pull low to enable eUSB2 repeater mode for port 1.  Pull high if UART mode is required.

    When SDA and SCL are pulled high in the TUSB2E221, I2C mode is enabled and EQ settings are controlled through I2C configuration.  If the new design does not require I2C communication, the TUSB2E221 can be configured in GPIO mode.  The required changes are listed in Table 5-2 of the TUSB2E221 datasheet and are based on system needs.

    When SCL or SDA is pulled low, the TUSB2E221 behaves similarly to the TUSB2E22 and minimal design changes are required.
