The DP83826 offers low and deterministic latency, low power, and supports 10BASE-Te, 100BASE-TX Ethernet protocols to meet stringent requirements in real-time industrial Ethernet systems. The device includes hardware bootstraps to achieve fast link-up time, fast link-drop detection modes, and dedicated reference CLKOUT to clock synchronize other modules on the systems.
Figure 2-1 is a high-level system block diagram of a typical DP83826 application.
The DP83826 connects to an Ethernet MAC and to a media. The connection to the media is via a transformer and a connector.
TI is transitioning to use more inclusive terminology. Some language may be different than what you would expect to see for certain technology areas.
The following sections approach the debug from a high level, attempting to start with application characteristics that have a broad impact and then zeroing in on more focused aspects of the design.
