6.3.10 RMII Repeater Mode

The DP83825I provides an option to enable repeater mode functionality to extend the cable reach in un-managed mode (without the need of additional register configuration). Two DP83825I can be connected in back-to-back mode without any external configuration. This provides a Hardware Strap to configure the CRS_DV pin of RMII interface to RX_DV pin for back-to-back operation. Figure 6-4 shows the RMII pin connection that can enable DP83825I Repeater mode. If using managed mode, external Reset to both PHYs are triggered at the same time.
