PRODUCTION DATA
The DP83867 provides configurable clock skew for the GTX_CLK and RX_CLK to optimize timing across the interface. The transmit and receive paths are independently optimized. Both the transmit and receive path support 16 programmable RGMII delay modes through register configuration. Use strap configuration to configure 8 programmable RGMII modes for both the transmit and receive paths. See Section 7.5.1 for details.
Configure the timing paths for Aligned mode or Shift mode. In Aligned mode, no clock skew is introduced. In Shift mode, introduce the clock skew in 0.5ns increments (through strap configuration) or in 0.25ns increments (through register configuration). Configuration of the Aligned mode or Shift mode is accomplished through the RGMII Control Register (RGMIICTL), address 0x0032. In Shift mode, adjust the clock skew using the RGMII Delay Control Register (RGMIIDCTL), address 0x0086.
