GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The EVAL-ADIN1100EBZ is a flexible platform enabling quick eval-
uation of the ADIN1100 robust, low power 10BASE-T1L PHY. The
EVAL-ADIN1100EBZ provides 10 Mbps single pair Ethernet (SPE)
connections with devices across 1.7 km of cable.
The evaluation board offers two modes of operation for maximum
flexibility. Connected to a PC via USB port, the full set of ADIN1100
register settings and features such as link quality monitoring and
diagnostics can be accessed with the ADIN1100 GUI software.
Alternatively, the EVAL-ADIN1100EBZ board can operate in stand-
alone mode where it is configured by setting hardware configuration
links and switches. On-board LEDs provide status indication.
The ADIN1100 data (MII, RMII, and RGMII) and management
(MDIO) interfaces are accessible on header connectors for easy
connection to an external host controller.
A small prototyping area and test points are provided for experi-
mentation with alternative cable connection topologies including
isolation transformers and/or power coupling inductors.
The platform can perform as a 10BASE-T1L to 10BASE-T media
converter. This feature enables connection to other devices (dem-
onstration boards or custom prototypes) with a 10BASE-T1L Ether-
net port and conversion of the data to standard Ethernet, which is
accessible via the RJ45 connector.
Full details about the ADIN1100 are available in the ADIN1100
data sheet, which must be consulted when using the EVAL-
ADIN1100EBZ.
