SLVSHI5 April 2024 TPS23881B
PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS23881B 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, TI recommends that the SRAM of the TPS23881B device be programmed with the latest version of SRAM code via I2C to ensure proper operation and IEEE complaint performance. All I2C traffic other than those commands required to program the SRAM must be deferred until after the SRAM programming sequences are completed.
For systems that include multiple TPS23881B 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 SRAM Control Register and the How to Load TPS2388x SRAM and Parity Code Over I 2C application brief on TI.com.
