Compiler/DP83848I: DP83848I MAC address

YEOM INCHEOL

Part Number: DP83848I

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

Hello, 

I am using STMicroelectronics' CPU and doing Ethernet communication using DP83848IVV.

I am using MAC address in DP83848IVV through source coding.

1. Is the MAC address individually built into the DP83848IVV chip??

2.If the MAC address is individually embedded in the chip, is it okay to use it in the production line without purchasing the MAC address separately from the IEEE Registration Authority?

    Hi Yeom,

    DP83848 is ethernet PHY and it will only handle communication between the CPU and the physical layer (e.g. cat5 cable). It will not come with an assigned MAC address. MAC address is a higher layer functionality and will be handled at the CPU layer. You will need to assign MAC address in the CPU.
