DP83848C is for 10/100Mbps ethernet PHY chip. I want to interface DM8168 with DP83848C.
DM8168 has 8-bit TXD/RXD,but DP83848C has 4-bit TXD/RXD. How to solve this mismatch?

Hi,
The module automatically switches from GMII (8 data pins [7-0]) to MII (4 data pins [3-0]) based on the mode and speed.
The interface to MII PHY would be the same as GMII except of course for the 4-bit data pins.
(refer to the DM816x Technical Reference Manual - 6.2.1 Signal Description)
