Texas Instruments provides a recommended PCB layout in the datasheet, but it's also recommended to follow the guidelines in the 'Ethernet PHY Layout Guidelines' application note (SLAA503) for optimal performance.
The DP83848MSQ/NOPB can be configured for specific network speeds using the Speed Control pins (SPD0-SPD2) or through the Management Data Input/Output (MDIO) interface using the PHY register settings.
The power consumption of the DP83848MSQ/NOPB varies depending on the operating mode and speed. The typical power consumption is around 350 mW in 1000BASE-T mode and 200 mW in 10/100BASE-TX mode.
Texas Instruments provides a troubleshooting guide in the datasheet, which includes steps to identify and resolve common issues such as link faults, packet loss, and incorrect speed negotiation.
Yes, the DP83848MSQ/NOPB is rated for industrial temperature ranges from -40°C to 85°C, making it suitable for use in industrial and automotive applications.
