Figure 10: Gigabit Ethernet with Discrete Magnetics Reference
Schematic
2.2.3.3. 10/100Mbit Ethernet Schematic Example (Integrated
Magnetics)
The Fast Ethernet interface uses the
MDI0
as transmitting lanes and the
MDI1
as receiving lane. As most Ethernet
PHYs
feature Auto-MDIX, the
signal direction RX and TX could be swapped. It is strongly recommend
that RX and TX lanes are not swapped in order to ensure compatibility
between all
SMARC
modules.
The
MDI2
and
MDI3
lanes are not used for the
10/100Base-TX
interface.
These signals can be left unconnected.
Most of the Fast Ethernet
PHYs
do not need a centre tap voltage. Even so,
it is recommend the centre tap pins of the magnetics are connected to the
centre tap source pin of the
SMARC
module connector.
