xMII Loopback
DP83TC812S-Q1 DP83TC812R-Q1 xMII
                    Loopback Without Data Generator Figure 7-2 xMII Loopback Without Data Generator

xMII Loopback is the shallowest loop through the PHY. It is a useful test mode to validate communications between the MAC and the PHY. When in xMII Loopback, data transmitted from a connected MAC on the TX path is internally looped back in the DP83TC812 to the RX pins where it can be checked by the MAC. There is no link indication when in xMII loopback.

Enable Loopback

Write register 0x0000 = 0x6100

Enable data generator/checker for MAC side

Data will be generated externally on the MAC TX pins.

Use the following register settings to enable checker depending on the MAC interface mode.

  • For RGMII, write register 0x0619 = 0x1004
  • For SGMII, write register 0x0619 = 0x1114
  • For RMII, write register 0x0619 = 0x1224
  • For MII, write register 0x0619 = 0x1334

Check incoming data from MAC side

Data can be verified at MAC interface RX pins.

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

Enable data generator/checker for Cable side

Not applicable as data will be generated externally on the MAC interface TX pins.

Check data for Cable side

Not applicable as PRBS stream checker works with only internal PRBS generator.

Other system requirements

Generated data will be going to cable side.
