PRODUCTION DATA.
A software reset is accomplished by setting the reset bit (bit 15) of the Basic Mode Control Register (BMCR). The period from the point in time when the reset bit is set to the point in time when software reset has concluded is approximately 1 µs.
A software reset will reset the device such that all the registers will be re-initialized to default values and the hardware configuration values will be re-latched into the device. Software driver code must wait 3 µs following a software reset before allowing further serial MII operations with the DP83848-EP
