The DP83620 is a highly reliable, feature rich device suited for
industrial applications. The DP83620 offers low power consumption,
including several intelligent power down states. In addition to low
power, the DP83620 is optimized for cable length performance far
exceeding IEEE specifications. The DP83620 includes a 25MHz clock
out. This allows the application to be designed with a minimum of
external parts, which in turn results in the lowest possible total
cost of the solution.
The DP83620 offers innovative diagnostic features unique to Texas
Instruments, including dynamic monitoring of link quality during
standard operation for fault prediction. These advanced features
allow the system designer to implement a fault prediction mechanism
to detect and warn of deteriorating and changing link conditions.
This single port fast Ethernet transceiver can support both copper
and fiber media. The DP838620 also provides flexibility by
supporting both MII and RMII interfaces.
