Product details
Overview
DP83848JSQ/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a single-port 10/100 Mbps Ethernet PHY transceiver in a 40-pin WQFN package, supporting both MII and RMII MAC interfaces, Auto-MDIX, IEEE 802.3-compliant 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX physical layer operation, and 3.3-V I/O interface. It delivers error-free operation beyond 137 meters over Cat-5 cable and integrates adaptive equalization and baseline wander compensation for robust signal integrity in industrial automation and embedded networking applications.
For engineers reviewing the DP83848JSQ/NOPB datasheet, DP83848JSQ/NOPB pinout, DP83848JSQ/NOPB application, or DP83848JSQ/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-interface flexibility (MII/RMII), commercial-grade temperature range (0°C to 70°C), integrated LED control for link/speed indication, 4-kV HBM ESD rating, and compatibility with standard 25-MHz crystal or 50-MHz oscillator reference clocks.
Technical Context
The DP83848JSQ/NOPB implements a full IEEE 802.3-compliant PHY layer with ENDEC, PCS, and TP-PMD sublayers - including ANSI X3.263–compliant 100BASE-TX transceivers, 10BASE-T transceivers, and adaptive analog front-end circuitry. Its Auto-MDIX function operates transparently at both 10 and 100 Mbps without software intervention.
It supports hardware-strapped configuration of PHY address (5-bit), MII/RMII mode (via RX_DV pin), LED behavior (Mode 1/2), and MDIX enable/disable - all latched at hardware reset. The device uses internal pulldown/pullup resistors on strap pins, requiring only optional 2.2-kΩ external resistors to override defaults.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Ethernet PHY transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LAN8720AI-CP | 3.3-V single-port 10/100 PHY in 24-pin QFN; lacks RMII support and integrated LED drivers; lower ESD rating (2 kV HBM). | Better suited for cost-sensitive consumer electronics where RMII isn't required and board space is less constrained. | Select LAN8720AI-CP only if RMII interface and LED drive capability are unnecessary and BOM cost reduction outweighs robustness trade-offs. |
| KSZ8041NL | 3.3-V 10/100 PHY in 48-pin QFN; includes integrated 1.25-V LDO, MII-only interface, and 8-kV ESD rating; no Auto-MDIX in some revisions. | Preferred for automotive-adjacent industrial designs requiring higher ESD immunity and regulated analog supply, but requires additional layout area and lacks DP83848JSQ/NOPB's RMII option. | Choose KSZ8041NL when system-level ESD compliance exceeds 4 kV or when integrated LDO simplifies power architecture - not for RMII-based compact designs. |
Compared with LAN8720AI-CP and KSZ8041NL, the DP83848JSQ/NOPB uniquely balances RMII/MII dual-interface support, integrated LED control, Auto-MDIX, and 4-kV HBM rating in a 6 mm × 6 mm footprint - making it optimal for space- and reliability-critical embedded Ethernet endpoints where interface flexibility and field-deployment robustness are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for DP83848JSQ/NOPB?
The DP83848JSQ/NOPB is rated for commercial temperature operation from 0°C to 70°C. This specification is confirmed in the device comparison table and recommended operating conditions section of the SNLS250E datasheet. It aligns with the DP83848J variant designation and is validated for use in peripheral devices, mobile gateways, and non-extreme industrial enclosures where ambient temperatures remain within this band. The DP83848JSQ/NOPB does not support extended or industrial temperature grades.
Does DP83848JSQ/NOPB support RMII interface, and how is it enabled?
Yes, DP83848JSQ/NOPB supports RMII Rev. 1.2 interface. It is enabled by strapping the RX_DV pin (Pin 32) high during hardware reset - this pin functions as the MII_MODE strap. With internal pulldown, default operation is MII; applying a 2.2-kΩ pullup resistor to VCC configures RMII mode. Once latched, the interface operates at 50 MHz reference clock (X1), eliminating TX_CLK and RX_CLK signals and reducing pin count from 16 to 7.
What are the key differences between DP83848JSQ/NOPB and DP83848H/M/T variants?
The DP83848JSQ/NOPB differs from DP83848H/M/T primarily in temperature grade and clock output: DP83848JSQ/NOPB is commercial-grade (0°C to 70°C) and lacks CLK_OUT on Pin 21, whereas DP83848H/M/T offer extreme or commercial temp ranges and include a 25-MHz clock output. Additionally, DP83848JSQ/NOPB retains LED_SPEED (Pin 21) and LED_LINK (Pin 22), unlike DP83848H/M/T which repurpose Pin 21 for CLK_OUT.
How is Auto-MDIX implemented in DP83848JSQ/NOPB, and can it be disabled?
Auto-MDIX in DP83848JSQ/NOPB is implemented in hardware and operates automatically at both 10 and 100 Mbps without software configuration. It can be disabled by pulling the RX_ER pin (Pin 34, labeled MDIX_EN) low via an external 2.2-kΩ pulldown resistor during reset - this strapping option overrides the default enabled state. Disabling Auto-MDIX may be necessary in legacy networks where cabling polarity is fixed and deterministic.
What is the significance of the RBIAS pin (Pin 20) on DP83848JSQ/NOPB?
The RBIAS pin (Pin 20) on DP83848JSQ/NOPB connects to a precision 4.87-kΩ 1% bias resistor to ground, setting internal current references for the analog PHY front-end. This resistor directly calibrates transmit amplitude, receive sensitivity, and adaptive equalization performance. Omitting or misvaluing this resistor causes noncompliant signal levels, reduced cable reach, and potential interoperability failures - making it a critical layout and BOM item.
