JAJSFJ2G March 2018 – August 2020 TPS23880
PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS23880 device has been designed to include programmable SRAM that accommodates future firmware updates to support interoperability and/or compliance issues that may arise as new equipment is introduced in conjunction with the release of the IEEE 802.3bt standard.
The latest version of firmware and SRAM release notes may be accessed from the TI mySecure Software webpage.
The SRAM Release Notes and ROM Advisory document includes more detailed information regarding any know issues and changes that were associated with each firmware release.
Upon power up, the TPS23880 device requires the SRAM to be programmed via I2C to ensure proper operation and IEEE complaint performance. All I2C traffic other than those commands required to program the SRAM should be deferred until after the SRAM programming sequences are completed.
For systems that include multiple TPS23880 devices, the 0x7F "global" broadcast I2C address may be used to programmed all of the devices at the same time.
For more detailed instructions on the SRAM programing procedures please refer to Section 9.6.2.65 and the How to Load TPS2388x SRAM Code document on TI.com.
