The on-board DP83869 gigabit Ethernet PHY has the following hardware connections, shown in Figure 2-19 and detailed in Table 2-17.

The DP83869 PHY requires three separate power sources. VDDIO (3.3V) is the output of the on-board load switch, which uses the 3.3V system IO voltage as its input. The other two PHY power inputs - VDD1P1 and VDDA2P5 - are generated from on-board LDOs. For more on the system power, see Section 2.3.
Strapping Resistors
The DP83869 Ethernet PHY uses several functional pins as strap options to place the PHY into specific modes of operation. Each functional pin has a default mode that is driven by an internal pull resistor.
| Functional Pin | Default Mode | Mode on HSEC180ADAPEVM-AM2 | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| RX_D0 | 0 | 3 | PHY address: 0011 |
| RX_D1 | 0 | 0 | |
| JTAG_TDO/GPIO_1 | 0 | 0 | RGMII to Copper |
| RX_D3 | 0 | 0 | |
| RX_D2 | 0 | 0 | |
| LED_0 | 0 | 0 | Auto-negotiation, 1000/100/10 advertised, auto MDI-X |
| RX_ER | 0 | 0 | |
| LED_2 | 0 | 0 | |
| RX_DV | 0 | 0 | Port mirroring disabled |
The RJ45 receptacle connected to the DP83869 PHY contains two bi-color LEDs that are used to indicate link and activity.
| RJ45 LED | Color | Indication |
|---|---|---|
| Right LED | GREEN | Ethernet PHY power established |
| YELLOW | Transmit or Receive activity | |
| Left LED | GREEN | Link OK |
| YELLOW | 1000BT link is up |
