SNLS614C September 2018 – April 2024 DP83869HM
PRODUCTION DATA
There are several options for Loopback that test and verify various functional blocks within the PHY. Enabling loopback mode allows in-circuit testing of the digital and analog data paths. Generally, the DP83869HM may be configured to one of the Near-end loopback modes or to the Far-end (reverse) loopback. MII Loopback is configured using the BMCR (register address 0h). All other loopback modes are enabled using the BIST_CONTROL (register address 16h). Except where otherwise noted, loopback modes are supported for all speeds (10/100/1000) and all MAC interfaces (SGMII and RGMII).
