Texas Instruments DP83826Ax 10/100Mbps Industrial Ethernet PHYs

Texas Instruments DP83826Ax 10/100Mbps Industrial Ethernet PHYs are deterministic, low-latency, and low-power devices. These PHYs support 10BASE-Te and 100BASE-TX Ethernet protocols to meet stringent requirements in real-time industrial Ethernet systems. The DP83826Ax Ethernet PHYs include hardware bootstraps for fast link-up time, fast link-drop detection modes, and a dedicated reference CLKOUT to clock-synchronize other modules on the systems. Typical applications include factory automation, robotics, motion control, motor drives, grid infrastructure, building automation, and industrial Ethernet fieldbus.

The DP83826Ax Ethernet PHYs feature two configurable modes: BASIC standard Ethernet and ENHANCED Ethernet. The BASIC standard Ethernet mode uses a common Ethernet pinout. The ENHANCED Ethernet mode supports standard Ethernet mode and multiple industrial Ethernet Fieldbus applications with additional features and hardware bootstrap configuration.
