1 Introduction
The Nine Ways PhyworkX DP83640 Ethernet Development Kit provides an Ethernet PHY
Daughter Board implementing two 10/100 Ethernet copper ports with high precision IEEE
1588 time synchronization support.
The board implements two independent Ethernet interfaces with several system interface
options and can be used in single and multi-channel applications.
The daughter board implements a High Speed Mezzanine Card (HSMC) connector to the
main board that implements parallel RMII and provides the necessary 3.3V power supply.
In combination with the MorethanIP/Nine Ways Ethernet Cores (e.g. MAC, Switch, IEEE 1588)
the PHY daughter board can be used to quickly design, implement, prototype and test
embedded Ethernet Telecom or Industrial applications with support for precise timing
according to the IEEE 1588 standard.
The board is optionally available with reference designs using a MAC, with support for
IEEE1588, for precise time synchronization applications, or with a 3-port Switch application.
The board can be used with any Altera (e.g. Arria GX, Stratix II GX, Cyclone III) or Nine Ways
board that implements a HSMC connector.
