Design Notes
For optimal signal integrity, route the differential pairs (TX_DP/TX_DN and RX_DP/RX_DN) as 100-ohm differential impedance traces. Keep the traces as short as possible and avoid vias. Place the magnetics (isolation transformer) close to the PHY to minimize trace length. Ensure a solid ground plane beneath the PHY and magnetics to reduce EMI.
Decouple the 3.3V supply with a 10uF bulk capacitor and 0.1uF ceramic capacitor placed close to the VDD pins. The DP83848KSQ/NOPB requires a clean power supply for reliable operation. Use a ferrite bead in series with the supply to filter high-frequency noise. Refer to the TI datasheet for recommended power supply filtering.
Ensure the MDIO interface is properly terminated with pull-up resistors on MDIO and MDC lines. Incorrect termination can cause management interface failures. Also, verify the strap options for PHY address and mode selection are set correctly. Refer to the datasheet for strap configuration to avoid address conflicts in multi-PHY systems.
