Low-Power 100BASE-T Ethernet has kit with comprehensive list of real-time monitoring tools

The Texas Instruments DP83TC811R-Q1 device is an IEEE 802.3bw-compliant automotive PHYTER Ethernet physical layer transceiver. It offers all physical layer functions required to receive and transmit data over unshielded single twisted-pair cables. The device offers xMII flexibility with support for standard MII, RMII, and RGMII MAC interfaces. This device includes the Diagnostic Tool Kit, giving a comprehensive list of real-time monitoring tools, debug tools and test modes. Within the toolkit is the first integrated ESD monitoring tool. It can count ESD events on both the xMII and MDI as well as giving real-time monitoring through the use of a programmable interrupt. Also, the DP83TC811R-Q1 includes a PRBS frame generation tool, which is fully compatible with internal loopbacks, to receive and transmit data without the use of a MAC. The DP83TC811R-Q1 is housed in a 6mm x 6mm, 36-pin VQFN wettable flank package.
