ZHCSAB9E September 2012 – June 2019 DP83848-EP
PRODUCTION DATA.
The jabber function monitors the output of DP83848-EP and disables the transmitter if it tries to transmit a packet of longer than legal size. A jabber timer monitors the transmitter and disables the transmission if the transmitter is active for approximately 85 ms.
Once disabled by the Jabber function, the transmitter stays disabled for the entire time that the ENDEC module's internal transmit enable is asserted. This signal has to be de-asserted for approximately 500 ms (the “unjab” time) before the Jabber function re-enables the transmit outputs.
The Jabber function is only relevant in 10BASE-T mode.
