2.4.2 RBIAS Voltage and Resistance

The RBIAS resistor is used to develop the internal bias currents and voltages in the PHY. It is specified for 1% tolerance so that the PHY can meet the tightest IEEE 802.3 specifications.

Measure the DC value of the voltage across the RBIAS resistor and confirm that the voltage is 1 V.

Power down the board and verify that the RBIAS resistor value is 11 kΩ ±1%.
