PCS Loopback will loop back data prior to it exiting the PCS and entering the PMA. Data received from the MAC on the transmit path is brought through the digital block within the PHY where it is then routed back to the MAC through the receive path. The DP83TC812 receive PMA circuitry is configured for isolation to prevent contention.

Enable Loopback

Write register 0x0016 = 0x0102

Enable data generator/checker for MAC side

Write register 0x0624 = 0x55BF

Write register 0x0619 = 0x1555

Check incoming data from MAC side

Data can also be checked internally by reading registers 0x063C, 0x063D, 0x063E

Enable data generator/checker for Cable side

Write register 0x0624 = 0x55BF

Write register 0x0619 = 0x0557

Check data for Cable side

  1. Write register 0x0620[1] = 1'b1
  2. Read register 0x620
    1. Bit [7:0] = Number of errors bytes received
    2. Bit [8] = PRBS checker lock status on incoming data (1'b1 indicates lock)
Repeat steps 1 and 2 to continously check error status of incoming data stream.

Other system requirements

Data generate by the internal PRBS will be transmitted over the MDI and the MAC interface.
