4 Mode Comparison Tables

The DP83826 can be strapped to operate in either ENHANCED mode or BASIC mode. ENHANCED mode allows the DP83826 to support real-time Ethernet applications in addition to standard Ethernet applications. BASIC mode allows the DP83826 to support standard Ethernet applications. Additionally, the DP83826 pinout in BASIC mode matches a common PHY pinout used in many applications.

(1) These pin bootstraps enable the ENHANCED mode DP83826 to meet the stringent requirements of real-time Ethernet applications.
(2) This pin bootstrap enables the ENHANCED mode DP83826 to function as an RMII repeater.
(3) ENHANCED mode includes all the modes of operation BASIC mode can be configured to. The difference is, in these modes of operation, ENHANCED mode requires register configuration.
Note: For a step by step approach on using the DP83826 BASIC mode in existing systems that use a common standard Ethernet pinout, please refer to SNLA338.
