6.3.14 Loopback Modes

There are several loopback options within the DP83825I that test and verify various functional blocks within the PHY. Enabling loopback modes allow for in-circuit testing of the digital and analog data paths. The DP83825I can be configured to any one of the Loopback modes described below. MII Loopback is configured using the Basic Mode Control Register (BMCR, address 0x0000). All other loopback modes are enabled using the BIST Control Register (BISCR, address 0x0016). Except where otherwise noted, loopback modes are supported for all speeds (10/100 Mbps and all MAC interfaces).

Auto-Negotiation must be disabled before selecting the Loopback modes. This constraint does not apply for external-loopback mode.
