SNLS779A July 2025 – November 2025 DP83TC815-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA
The DP83TC815-Q1 is a 100BASE-T1 automotive Ethernet PHY providing 100Mbps full-duplex communication. DP83TC815-Q1 is IEEE 802.3bw compliant and AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications.
This device is specifically designed to operate at 100Mbps speed while meeting stringent automotive EMC limits. The DP83TC815-Q1 transmits PAM3 ternary symbols at 66.667MHz over unshielded single twisted-pair cable. DP83TC815-Q1 is application-flexible, supporting MII, RMII, RGMII, and SGMII in a single 36-pin VQFN wettable flank package.
The PHY integrates 1588v2/802.1AS hardware time stamping, enabling highly accurate time synchronization.
The DP83TC815-Q1 supports Open Alliance TC-10 low power mode to enable lower power sleep/wake of ECU using Ethernet UTP and remove the need for additional wiring (for example, single-wire wake). The PHY also offers wake-forwarding without the need for link-up, enabling very fast wake-up of the network. The PHY supports WAKE and INH pins for implementing TC-10 functionality in the system. The DP83TC815-Q1 supports Fast-Wake up from Sleep where the PHY can wake-up and link-up even before the Host boots up, by retaining the PHY configuration during sleep.
There is an extensive Diagnostic Tool Kit within the DP83TC815-Q1 for both in-system use as well as debug, compliance, and system prototyping for bring-up. The DP83TC815-Q1 can meet IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 electrostatic discharge limits and also includes an on-chip ESD sensor for detecting ESD events in real-time.
The DP83TC815-Q1 is built for minimal thermal footprint with low active power as well as multiple low-power modes. DP83TC815-Q1 supports Wake-on-LAN Magic Packets, allowing upstream devices an option for entering into low-power state. Additionally, the device can enter into sleep state and remain until energy is detected on the MDI or locally woken through the WAKE pin.
