General Description The purpose of the DP83640 Demo Board is to provide National Semiconductor Corp.'s customers with a vehicle to quickly design and market systems containing the DP83640. Customers are encouraged to copy EVK components to expedite their design process.
DP83640 DEMO BOARD USER GUIDE Quick Start The DP83640 Demo Board is fully assembled and factory tested. Follow the instructions below to set up the hardware platform for the measurement of interest. Power Connection The DP83640 Demo Board provides several options for supplying power to the board. Power can be supplied by way of the MII interface at 3.3 V or 5.0 V, USB interface, or directly from an external supply.
DP83640 DEMO BOARD USER GUIDE Address Setting The PHY address can be set by placing jumpers in J24 and J26 as indicated in Table 1. Placing 2.2k ohm resistors in R47, R49, and R50 will pull PHYAD2, PHYAD3, and PHYAD4 high allowing for PHY addresses greater than 3.
DP83640 DEMO BOARD USER GUIDE Device Register Access 2.3.1 Access MDIO Through MII To access the device registers through the MII interface jumpers should be placed between pins 1 and 2 of J3 and J4. Figure 3 shows the default jumper settings for the MDIO/MDC access via the MII interface.
DP83640 DEMO BOARD USER GUIDE Clock Sources The board can be configured to operate with either a crystal or an external oscillator. 2.4.1 Crystal (Default) The board comes with a 25 MHz crystal for use in the MII configuration. A surface mount device using the pads provided on the bottom side of the board can replace the through-hole part.
DP83640 DEMO BOARD USER GUIDE Straps The DP83640 Demo Board provides a combination of jumpers and resistors to configure the strap options for the device. The following table summarizes the straps and the default settings. Table 2. Strap Settings Jumper Signal Name IC Pin Name...
DP83640 DEMO BOARD USER GUIDE LEDs Various LEDs are provided to assist the user in determining the state of operation of the board. Table 4 and Table 5 clarify the relationship between the LEDs and Jumpers. Table 4. List of LEDs with Jumpers Associated Jumper Function Revision 1...
DP83640 DEMO BOARD USER GUIDE Refer to Table 3 for the “UP” and “DN” jumper position for each board revision. Note that on Revision 2 of the board, two separate LEDs have been used. For additional information about the functionality of pins connected to the LEDs (with the exception of D2), refer to the DP83640 datasheet.
