ZHCST33A September 2023 – April 2024 DP83TC811-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA
Electrostatic discharge is a serious issue for electronic circuits and if not properly mitigated can create short-term issues (signal integrity, link drops, packet loss) as well as long-term reliability faults. The DP83TC811-Q1 has robust integrated ESD circuitry and offers an ESD sensing architecture. ESD events can be detected on both the xMII and MDI pins independently for further analysis and debug.
Additionally, the DP83TC811-Q1 provides an interrupt status flag; bit[11] in the Section 7.6.10 when an ESD event is logged in the Section 7.6.34. Hardware and software resets are ignored by the ESDS register to prevent unwarranted clearing.
