DP83849C
5.2 ESD Protection
Typically, ESD precautions are predominantly in effect
when handling the devices or board before being installed
in a system. In those cases, strict handling procedures
need be implemented during the manufacturing process to
greatly reduce the occurrences of catastrophic ESD
events. After the system is assembled, internal compo
-
nents are less sensitive from ESD events.
The network interface pins are more susceptible to ESD
events.
5.3 Clock In (X1) Requirements
The DP83849C supports an external CMOS level oscillator
source or a crystal resonator device.
Oscillator
If an external clock source is used, X1 should be tied to the
clock source and X2 should be left floating.
Specifications for CMOS oscillators: 25 MHz in MII Mode
and 50 MHz in RMII Mode are listed in Table 14 and Table
15.
Crystal
A 25 MHz, parallel, 20 pF load crystal resonator should be
used if a crystal source is desired.
Figure 13 shows a typi-
cal connection for a crystal resonator circuit. The load
capacitor values will vary with the crystal vendors; check
with the vendor for the recommended loads.
The oscillator circuit is designed to drive a parallel reso-
nance AT cut crystal with a minimum drive level of 100µW
and a maximum of 500
µW. If a crystal is specified for a
lower drive level, a current limiting resistor should be
placed in series between X2 and the crystal.
As a starting point for evaluating an oscillator circuit, if the
requirements for the crystal are not known, C
L1
and C
L2
should be set at 33 pF, and R
1
should be set at 0Ω.
Specification for 25 MHz crystal are listed in Table 16.
