SNLA437A December 2023 – October 2025 DP83822H , DP83822HF , DP83822I , DP83822IF , DP83826I
Fiber Network Circuit shows the recommended circuit for a 100-Mbps fiber network. Verify that the circuit meets the requirements of the intended application.
All resistors and capacitors should be placed as close to the fiber transceiver as possible.
The DP83822 provides IEEE 802.3 compliant 100BASE-FX operation. Hardware bootstrap or register configuration can be used to enable 100BASE-FX operation.
The DP83822IF and DP83822HF are the fiber capable variants of the DP83822. Register 0x0001[2] indicates link status for both Copper and Fiber modes of operation. In Fiber, this bit does NOT toggle when the link status changes. Soft-Reset must be performed (Set Register 0x001F = 0x4000) before reading Register 0x0001 to ensure proper link status change update.
The DP83822 has signal detection pin. This pin connects to an industry standard fiber transceiver. When enabling 100BASE-FX operation using the FX_EN bootstrap, AMDIX_EN bootstrap turns into SD_EN bootstrap. Please refer to Table 2-12 for fiber bootstrap configuration.
| Pin Name | Pin# | PU/PD | Mode | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| COL | 29 | PU | 2 or 3 | FX_EN: Enables 100BASE-FX |
| RX_ER | 28 | PU | 3 or 4 | SD_EN: Enables active HIGH 100BASE-FX Signal Detection on LED_1 when set to '1' if FX_EN is enabled. Polarity can be changed using the Fiber General Configuration Register (FIBER GENCFG, Register 0x0465). |
| Bit | Name | Type | Default | Function |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 100Base-FX Signal Detect Polarity | R/W | 0 | 100Base-FX Signal Detect Polarity: 1 = Signal Detect is Active LOW 0 = Signal Detect is Active HIGH When set to Active HIGH, Link drop will occur if SD pin senses a LOW state (SD = '0'). When set to Active LOW, Link drop will occur if SD pin senses a HIGH state (SD = '1'). Note: To enable 100BaseFX Signal Detection on LED_1 (pin #24), strap SD_EN = '1' |
