Evaluation Kits

The DP83825EVM lets designers evaluate the industry’s smallest form-factor, 10BASE-Te/100BASE-TX Ethernet physical layer transceiver, the DP83825I PHY. This evaluation module (EVM) lets designers use one of two interfaces: a network interface through an RJ-45 connector and a MAC interface through a simple multi-pin connector. The EVM is configured and controlled through a USB connection using the USB-2-MDIO simple software tool. The EVM supports interoperability testing, compliance testing and BER testing. The EVM also supports 10BASE-Te and 100BASE-TX Ethernet protocols with header pins that connect to the DP83825i RMII pins.

Features:

• 150-m Cat5 cable reach
• 100Base-TX, 10Base-Te
• On-Board MSP430F5529 with USB-2-MDIO for register access
• Supports interoperability testing, compliance testing and BER testing
