General Description
The Realtek RTL8211F-CG/RTL8211FD-CG/RTL8211FI-CG/RTL8211FDI-CG is a highly integrated
Ethernet transceiver that complies with 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, and 1000Base-T IEEE 802.3 standards. It
provides all the necessary physical layer functions to transmit and receive Ethernet packets over CAT.5
UTP cable. The RTL8211FI and RTL8211FDI are manufactured to industrial grade standards.
The RTL8211F(I)/RTL8211FD(I) uses state-of-the-art DSP technology and an Analog Front End (AFE) to
enable high-speed data transmission and reception over UTP cable. Functions such as Crossover Detection
& Auto-Correction, polarity correction, adaptive equalization, cross-talk cancellation, echo cancellation,
timing recovery, and error correction are implemented in the RTL8211F(I)/RTL8211FD(I) to provide
robust transmission and reception capabilities at 10Mbps, 100Mbps, or 1000Mbps.
Data transfer between MAC and PHY is via the Reduced Gigabit Media Independent Interface (RGMII) for
1000Base-T, 10Base-T, and 100Base-TX. The RTL8211F(I)/RTL8211FD(I) supports various RGMII
signaling voltages, including 3.3, 2.5, 1.8, and 1.5V.

7.
Function Description
7.1. Transmitter
7.1.1.
1000Mbps Mode
The RTL8211F(I)/RTL8211FD(I)’s PCS layer receives data bytes from the MAC through the RGMII
interface and performs generation of continuous code-groups through 4D-PAM5 coding technology. These
code groups are passed through a waveform-shaping filter to minimize EMI effect, and are transmitted onto
the 4-pair CAT.5 cable at 125MBaud/s through a D/A converter.
7.1.2.
100Mbps Mode
The transmitted 4-bit nibbles (TXD[3:0]) from the MAC, clocked at 25MHz (TXCLK), are converted into
5B symbol code through 4B/5B coding technology, then through scrambling and serializing, are converted
to 125MHz NRZ and NRZI signals. The NRZI signals are passed to the MLT3 encoder, then to the D/A
converter and transmitted onto the media.
7.1.3.
10Mbps Mode
The transmit 4-bit nibbles (TXD[3:0]) from the MAC, clocked at 2.5MHz (TXCLK), are serialized into
10Mbps serial data. The 10Mbps serial data is converted into a Manchester-encoded data stream and is
transmitted onto the media by the D/A converter.
7.2. Receiver
7.2.1.
1000Mbps Mode
Input signals from the media first pass through the on-chip sophisticated hybrid circuit to subtract the
transmitted signal from the input signal for effective reduction of near-end echo. The received signal is
processed with state-of-the-art technology, such as adaptive equalization, BLW (Baseline Wander)
correction, cross-talk cancellation, echo cancellation, timing recovery, error correction, and 4D-PAM5
decoding. The 8-bit-wide data is recovered and is sent to the RGMII interface at a clock speed of 125MHz.
The Rx MAC retrieves the packet data from the receive RGMII interface and sends it to the Rx Buffer
Manager.
7.2.2.
100Mbps Mode
The MLT3 signal is processed with an ADC, equalizer, BLW (Baseline Wander) correction, timing
recovery, MLT3 and NRZI decoder, descrambler, 4B/5B decoder, and is then presented to the RGMII
interface in 4-bit-wide nibbles at a clock speed of 25MHz.

RTL8211F(I)/RTL8211FD(I)
Datasheet
7.2.3.
10Mbps Mode
The received differential signal is converted into a Manchester-encoded stream first. Next, the stream is
processed with a Manchester decoder, and is de-serialized into 4-bit-wide nibbles. The 4-bit nibbles are
presented to the RGMII interface at a clock speed of 2.5MHz.
7.3. Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE)
The RTL8211F(I)/RTL8211FD(I) supports IEEE 802.3az-2010, also known as Energy Efficient Ethernet
(EEE), at 10Mbps, 100Mbps, and 1000Mbps. It provides a protocol to coordinate transitions to/from a
lower power consumption level (Low Power Idle mode) based on link utilization. When no packets are
being transmitted, the system goes to Low Power Idle mode to save power. Once packets need to be
transmitted, the system returns to normal mode, and does this without changing the link status and without
dropping/corrupting frames.
To save power, when the system is in Low Power Idle mode, most of the circuits are disabled, however, the
transition time to/from Low Power Idle mode is kept small enough to be transparent to upper layer
protocols and applications.
EEE also specifies a negotiation method to enable link partners to determine whether EEE is supported.
Refer to http://www.ieee802.org/3/az/index.html for more details.
7.4. Wake-On-LAN (WOL)
The RTL8211F(I)/RTL8211FD(I) can monitor the network for a Wakeup Frame or a Magic Packet, and
notify the system via the PMEB (Power Management Event; ‘B’ means low active) pin when such a packet
or event occurs1. The system can then be restored to a normal state to process incoming jobs. The PMEB
pin needs to be connected with a 4.7k-ohm resistor and pulled up to 3.3V. When the Wakeup Frame or a
Magic Packet is sent to the PHY, the PMEB pin will be set low to notify the system to wake up. Refer to the
WOL application note for details.
Magic Packet Wakeup occurs only when the following conditions are met:
•
The destination address of the received Magic Packet is acceptable to the RTL8211F(I)/RTL8211FD(I),
e.g., a broadcast, multicast, or unicast packet addressed to the current RTL8211F(I)/RTL8211FD(I).
•
The received Magic Packet does not contain a CRC error.
•
The Magic Packet pattern matches; i.e., 6 * FFh + MISC (can be none) + 16 * DID (Destination ID) in
any part of a valid Ethernet packet.

Datasheet
A Wakeup Frame event occurs only when the following conditions are met:
•
The destination address of the received Wakeup Frame is acceptable to the
RTL8211F(I)/RTL8211FD(I), e.g., a broadcast, multicast, or unicast address to the current
RTL8211F(I)/RTL8211FD(I).
•
The received Wakeup Frame does not contain a CRC error.
•
The 16-bit CRC2 of the received Wakeup Frame matches the 16-bit CRC of the sample Wakeup Frame
pattern given by the local machine’s OS. Or, the RTL8211F(I)/RTL8211FD(I) is configured to allow
direct packet wakeup, e.g., a broadcast, multicast, or unicast network packet.
Note 1: The INTB and PMEB functions share the same pin (pin 31), and can be determined by Page 0xd40,
Reg.22, bit[5].
Note 2: 16-bit CRC: The RTL8211F(I)/RTL8211FD(I) supports eight long wakeup frames (covering 128
mask bytes from offset 0 to 127 of any incoming network packet). CRC16 polynomial=x16+x12+x5+1.
7.5. Interrupt
Whenever there is a status change on the media detected by the RTL8211F(I)/RTL8211FD(I), they will
drive the interrupt pin (INTB) low to issue an interrupt event. The MAC senses the status change and
accesses the registers (Page 0, Register 19) through the MDC/MDIO interface in response.
Once these status registers (Page 0, Register 19) have been read by the MAC through the MDC/MDIO, the
INTB is de-asserted. The RTL8211F(I) /RTL8211FD(I) interrupt function removes the need for continuous
polling through the MDC/MDIO management interface.
Note 1: The interrupt of the RTL8211F(I)/RTL8211FD(I) is a level-triggered mechanism.
Note 2: The INTB and PMEB functions share the same pin (pin 31), and can be determined by Page 0xd40,
Reg.22, bit[5].
7.6. INTB/PMEB Pin Usage
The INTB/PMEB pin (pin 31) of the RTL8211F(I)/RTL8211FD(I) is designed to notify in cases of both
interrupt and WOL events. The default mode of this pin is INTB (Page 0xd40, Reg.22, bit[5] = 0). For
general use, indication of a WOL event is also integrated into one of the interrupt events (Page 0, Reg 18,
bit[7] which is triggered when any specified WOL event occurs. However, the ‘Low Pulse’ waveform
format is not supported during this mode; only the active low, level-triggered waveform is provided.
If PMEB mode is selected (Page 0xd40, Reg.22, bit[5] = 1), pin 31 becomes a fully functional PMEB pin.
Note that the interrupt function is disabled in this mode.

This interface consists of four signal pairs; MDI0, MDI1, MDI2, and MDI3. Each signal pair consists of
two bi-directional pins that can transmit and receive at the same time. The MDI interface has internal
termination resistors to reduce BOM cost and PCB complexity. For 1000Base-T, all four pairs are used in
both directions at the same time. For 10/100 links and during auto-negotiation, only pairs A and B are used.

7.9. LED and PHY Address Configuration
In order to reduce the pin count on the RTL8211F(I)/RTL8211FD(I), the LED pins are duplexed with the
CFG_EXT and CFG_LDO pins. As the Hardware Configuration shares the LED output pins, the external
combinations required for strapping and LED usage must be considered in order to avoid contention.
Specifically, when the LED outputs are used to drive LEDs directly, the active state of each output driver is
dependent on the logic level sampled by the corresponding CFG_EXT/CFG_LDO inputs upon
power-on/reset.
For example, as Figure 5 (left-side) shows, if a given CFG_EXT/CFG_LDO inputs are resistively pulled
high then the corresponding LED outputs will be configured as an active low driver. On the right side, we
can see that if a given CFG_EXT/CFG_LDO inputs are resistively pulled low then the corresponding
output will be configured as an active high driver. The Hardware Configuration pins should not be
connected to GND or VCC directly, but must be pulled high or low through a resistor (e.g., 4.7KΩ). If no
LED indications are needed, the components of the LED path (LED+510Ω) can be removed.

7.11. MAC/PHY Interface
The RTL8211F(I)/RTL8211FD(I) supports industry standards and is suitable for most off-the-shelf MACs
with an RGMII interface.
7.11.1. RGMII
Among the RGMII interface in 100Base-TX and 10Base-T modes, TXC and RXC sources are 25MHz and
2.5MHz respectively; while in 1000Base-T mode, TXC and RXC sources are 125MHz. TXC will always
be generated by the MAC and RXC will always be generated by the PHY. TXD[3:0] and RXD[3:0] signals
are used for data transitions on the rising and falling edge of the clock.
7.11.2. Management Interface
The management interface provides access to the internal registers through the MDC and MDIO pins as
described in IEEE 802.3u section 22. The MDC signal, provided by the MAC, is the management data
clock reference to the MDIO signal. The MDIO is the management data input/output and is a bi-directional
signal that runs synchronously to MDC. The MDIO pin needs a 1.5k Ohm pull-up resistor to maintain the
MDIO high during idle and turnaround.
The RTL8211F(I)/RTL8211FD(I) can share the same MDIO line. In switch/router applications, each port
should be assigned a unique address during the hardware reset sequence, and it can only be addressed via
that unique PHY address. For detailed information on the management registers, see section 8 Register
Descriptions, page 29.

7.12. Auto-Negotiation
Auto-Negotiation is a mechanism to determine the fastest connection between two link partners. For copper
media applications, it was introduced in IEEE 802.3u for Ethernet and Fast Ethernet, and then in
IEEE 802.3ab to address extended functions for Gigabit Ethernet. It performs the following:
•
Auto-Negotiation Priority Resolution
•
Auto-Negotiation Master/Slave Resolution
•
Auto-Negotiation PAUSE/ASYMMETRIC PAUSE Resolution
•
Crossover Detection & Auto-Correction Resolution
Upon de-assertion of a hardware reset, the RTL8211F(I)/RTL8211FD(I) can be configured to have
auto-negotiation enabled, or be set to operate in 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, or 1000Base-T mode via the
ANAR and GBCR register (register 4 and 9).
The auto-negotiation process is initiated automatically upon any of the following:
•
Power-up
•
Hardware reset
•
Software reset (register 0.15)

Datasheet
7.12.1. Auto-Negotiation Priority Resolution
Upon the start of auto-negotiation, to advertise its capabilities each station transmits a 16-bit packet called
a Link Code Word (LCW), within a burst of 17 to 33 Fast Link Pulses (FLP). A device capable of
auto-negotiation transmits and receives the FLPs. The receiver must identify three identical LCWs before
the information is authenticated and used in the arbitration process. The devices decode the base LCW and
select capabilities with the highest common denominator supported by both devices.
To advertise 1000Base-T capability, both link partners, sharing the same link medium, should engage in
Next Page (1000Base-T Message Page, Unformatted Page 1, and Unformatted Page 2) exchange.
Auto-negotiation ensures that the highest priority protocol will be selected as the link speed based on the
following priorities advertised through the Link Code Word (LCW) exchange. Refer to IEEE 802.3 Clause
28 for detailed information.
1. 1000Base-T Full Duplex (highest priority)
2. 1000Base-T Half Duplex
3. 100Base-TX Full Duplex
4. 100Base-TX Half Duplex
5. 10Base-T Full Duplex
6. 10Base-T Half Duplex (lowest priority)
7.12.2. Auto-Negotiation Master/Slave Resolution
To establish a valid 1000Base-T link, the Master/Slave mode of both link partners should be resolved
through the auto-negotiation process:
•
Master Priority
•
Multi-port > Single-port
Manual > Non-manual
Determination of Master/Slave configuration from LCW
Manual_MASTER=U0*U1
Manual_SLAVE=U0*!U1
Single-port device=!U0*!U2

Datasheet
•
Where there are two stations with the same configuration, the one with higher Master-Slave seed
SB[10:0] in the unformatted page 2 shall become Master.
•
Master-Slave configuration process resolution:
Successful: Bit 10.15 Master-Slave Configuration Fault is set to logical 0, and bit 10.14 is set to
logical 1 for Master resolution, or set to logical 0 for Slave resolution.
Unsuccessful: Auto-Negotiation restarts.
Fault Detect: Bit 10.15 is set to logical 1 to indicate that a configuration fault has been detected.
Auto-Negotiation restarts automatically. This happens when both stations are set to manual
Master mode or manual Slave mode, or after seven attempts to configure the Master-Slave
relationship through the seed method has failed.
7.12.3. Auto-Negotiation PAUSE/ASYMMETRIC PAUSE Resolution
Auto-negotiation is also used to determine the flow control capability between link partners. Flow control
is a mechanism that can force a busy transmitting link partner to stop transmitting in a full duplex
environment by sending special MAC control frames. In IEEE 802.3u, a PAUSE control frame had already
been defined. However, in IEEE 802.3ab, a new ASY-PAUSE control frame was defined; if the MAC can
only generate PAUSE frames but is not able to respond to PAUSE frames generated by the link partner,
then it is called ASYMMETRIC PAUSE.
PAUSE/ASYMMETRIC PAUSE capability can be configured by setting the ANAR bits 10 and 11 (Table
26, page 33). Link partner PAUSE capabilities can be determined from ANLPAR bits 10 and 11 (Table 27,
page 34). A PHY layer device such as the RTL8211F(I)/RTL8211FD(I) is not directly involved in PAUSE
resolution, but simply advertises and reports PAUSE capabilities during the Auto-Negotiation process. The
MAC is responsible for final PAUSE/ASYMMETRIC PAUSE resolution after a link is established, and is
responsible for correct flow control actions thereafter.
7.13. Crossover Detection and Auto-Correction
Ethernet needs a crossover mechanism between both link partners to cross the transmit signal to the
receiver when the medium is twisted-pair cable. Crossover Detection & Auto-Correction Configuration
eliminates the need for crossover cables between devices, such as two computers connected to each other
with a CAT.5 Ethernet cable. The basic concept is to assume the initial default setting is MDI mode, and
then check the link status. If no link is established after a certain time, change to MDI Crossover mode and
repeat the process until a link is established. An 11-bit pseudo-random timer is applied to decide the mode
change time interval.
Crossover Detection & Auto-Correction is not a part of the Auto-Negotiation process, but it utilizes the
process to exchange the MDI/MDI Crossover configuration. If the RTL8211F(I)/RTL8211FD(I) is
configured to only operate in 100Base-TX or only in 10Base-T mode, then Auto-Negotiation is disabled
only if the Crossover Detection & Auto-Correction function is also disabled. If Crossover Detection &
Auto-Correction are enabled, then Auto-Negotiation is enabled and the RTL8211F(I)/RTL8211FD(I)
advertises only 100Base-TX mode or 10Base-T mode. If the speed of operation is configured manually and
Auto-Negotiation is still enabled because the Crossover Detection & Auto-Correction function is enabled,
then the duplex advertised is as follows:

Datasheet
1. If it is set to half duplex, then only half duplex is advertised.
2. If it is set to full duplex, then both full and half duplex are advertised.
If the user wishes to advertise only full duplex at a particular speed with the Crossover Detection &
Auto-Correction function enabled, then Auto-Negotiation should be enabled (register 0.12) with the
appropriate advertising capabilities set in registers 4 or 9. The Crossover Detection & Auto-Correction
function may be enabled/disable by setting (register 24.[9:8]) manually.
After initial configuration following a hardware reset, Auto-Negotiation can be enabled and disabled via
register 0.12, speed via registers 0.13, 0.6, and duplex via register 0.8. The abilities that are advertised can
be changed via registers 4 and 9. Changes to registers 0.12, 0.13, 0.6, and 0.8 do not take effect unless at
least one of the following events occurs:
•
Software reset (register 0.15)
•
Restart of Auto-Negotiation (register 0.9)
•
Transition from power-down to power-up (register 0.11)
Registers 4 and 9 are internally latched once each time Auto-Negotiation enters the ABILITY DETECT
state in the arbitration state machine (IEEE 802.3). Hence a write into register 4 or 9 has no effect once the
RTL8211F(I)/RTL8211FD(I) begins to transmit Fast Link Pulses.
Register 7 is treated in a similar manner as 4 and 9 during additional Next Page exchanges. Once the
RTL8211F(I)/RTL8211FD(I) completes Auto-Negotiation, it updates the various statuses in registers 1, 5,
6, and 10. The speed, duplex, page received, and Auto-Negotiation completed statuses are also available in
registers 26 and 29.

7.15. Polarity Correction
The RTL8211F(I)/RTL8211FD(I) automatically corrects polarity errors on the receive pairs in 1000Base-T
and 10Base-T modes. In 100Base-TX mode polarity is irrelevant. In 1000Base-T mode, receive polarity
errors are automatically corrected based on the sequence of idle symbols. Once the descrambler is locked,
the polarity is also locked on all pairs. The polarity becomes unlocked only when the receiver loses lock.
In 10Base-T mode, polarity errors are corrected based on the detection of validly spaced link pulses. The
detection begins during the MDI crossover detection phase and locks when the 10Base-T link is up. The
polarity becomes unlocked when the link is down.
7.16. Power
A voltage regulator is implemented to generate operating power (switching regulator for the RTL8211F(I);
LDO for the RTL8211FD(I)). The system vendor needs to supply a 3.3V, 1A steady power source. The
RTL8211F(I)/RTL8211FD(I) converts the 3.3V steady power source to 1.0V via a switching
regulator/LDO.
Another possible implementation is to use an external regulator to generate 1.0V. Be sure that the regulator
meets the required current rate (0.95V~1.05V).
The RTL8211F(I)/RTL8211FD(I) implements an option for the RGMII power pins. The standard I/O
voltage of the RGMII interface is 3.3V, with support for 2.5/1.8/1.5V to lower EMI. The 2.5/1.8/1.5V
power source for RGMII is supplied from an internal LDO or from an external power source.
7.17. PHY Reset (Hardware Reset)
The RTL8211F(I)/RTL8211FD(I) has a PHYRSTB pin to reset the chip. For a complete PHY reset, this pin
must be asserted low for at least 10ms (Tgap in Figure 9) for the internal regulator. Wait for a further 30ms
(for internal circuits settling time) before accessing the PHY register. All registers will return to default
values after a hardware reset. Refer to the RTL8211xx-xx_Power_Sequence_App_Note for more detailed
information.

Note 1: When the RTL8211F(I)/RTL8211FD(I) is switched from power down to normal operation, a software reset and
restart auto-negotiation is performed, even if bits Reset (0.15) and Restart_AN (0.9) are not set by the user.
Note 2: Auto-Negotiation is enabled when speed is set to 1000Base-T. Crossover Detection & Auto-Correction takes
precedence over Auto-Negotiation disable (0.12=0). If ANE is disabled, speed and duplex capabilities are advertised by
0.13, 0.6, and 0.8. Otherwise, register 4.8:5 and 9.9:8 take effect.
Note 3: Auto-Negotiation automatically restarts after hardware or software reset regardless of whether or not the restart bit
(0.9) is set.

Regulators and Power Sequence
9.1. Switching Regulator (RTL8211F(I))
The RTL8211F(I) incorporates a state-of-the-art switching regulator that requires a well-designed PCB
layout in order to achieve good power efficiency and lower the output voltage ripple and input overshoot.
The switching regulator 1.0V output pin (REG_OUT) should be connected only to DVDD10 and AVDD10
(do not provide this power source to other devices).
9.1.1.
PCB Layout
•
The input 3.3V power trace connected to DVDD33 must be wider than 40mils
•
The bulk de-coupling capacitors (Cin1 and Cin2) must be placed within 200mils (0.5cm) of DVDD33
to prevent input voltage overshoot
•
The output power trace out of REG_OUT must be wider than 60mils
•
Lx (2.2µH/4.7µH) must be kept within 200mils (0.5cm) of REG_OUT
•
Cout1 and Cout2 must be kept within 200mils (0.5cm) of Lx to ensure stable output power and better
power efficiency
•
For switching regulator stability, the capacitor Cout1 and Cout2 must be a ceramic (X5R) capacitor.
Cin1 and Cin2 are recommended to be ceramic capacitors
•
Place Lx and Cin1 on the same layer as the RTL8211F(I). Do not use vias on DVDD33 and REG_OUT
traces
Note: Violation of the above rules will damage the IC.

Note 2: The power inductor used by the switching regulator must be able to withstand 600mA of current.
Note 3: Typically, if the power inductor’s ESR at 1MHz is below 0.8Ω, the switching regulator efficiency will be above 75%.
However the actual switching regulator efficiency should be measured according to the method described in section 9.1.4
Efficiency Measurement, page 54.
Note 4: If the inductor does not meet this requirement, it may damage the switching regulator.

Measurement Criteria
In order for the switching regulator to operate properly, the input and output voltage measurement criteria
must be met. From the input side, the voltage overshoot cannot exceed 4V; otherwise the chip may be
damaged. Note that the voltage signal must be measured directly at the DVDD33 pin, not at the capacitor.
In order to reduce the input voltage overshoot, the Cin1 and Cin2 must be placed close to the DVDD33 pin.
The following figures show what a good input voltage and a bad one look like.

RTL8211F(I)/RTL8211FD(I)
Datasheet
From the output side measured at the REG_OUT pin, the voltage ripple must be within
100mV peak-to-peak. Choosing different types and values of input and output capacitor (Cin1, Cin2;
Cout1, Cout2) and power inductor (Lx) will seriously affect the efficiency and output voltage ripple of
switching regulators. The following figures show the effects of different types of capacitors on the
switching regulator’s output voltage.
The blue square wave signal (top row) is measured at the output of the REG_OUT pin before the power
inductor (Lx). The yellow signal (second row) is measured after the power inductor (Lx), and shows there is
a voltage ripple. The green signal (lower row) is the current. Data in the following figures was measured at
gigabit speed.

Figure 19. Ceramic 10µF (Y5V) (Bad)
A ceramic 10µF (X5R) will have a lower voltage ripple compared to an electrolytic 100µF. The key to
choosing a proper output capacitor is to choose the lowest ESR to reduce the output voltage ripple.
Choosing a ceramic 10µF (Y5V) in this case will cause malfunction of the switching regulator. Placing
several Electrolytic capacitors in parallel will help lower the output voltage ripple.

The following figures show how different inductors affect the REG_OUT output waveform. The typical
waveform should look like Figure 21, which has a square waveform with a dip at the falling edge and the
rising edge. If the inductor is not carefully chosen, the waveform may look like Figure 22, where the
waveform looks like a distorted square. This will cause insufficient current supply and will undermine the
stability of the system at gigabit speed. Data in the following figures was measured at gigabit speed

Efficiency Measurement
The efficiency of the switching regulator is designed to be above 75% in gigabit traffic mode. It is very
important to choose a suitable inductor before Gerber certification, as the Inductor ESR value will affect the
efficiency of the switching regulator. An inductor with a lower ESR value will result in a higher-efficiency
switching regulator.
The efficiency of the switching regulator is easily measured using the following method.
Figure 23 shows two checkpoints, checkpoint A (CP_A) and checkpoint B (CP_B). The switching
regulator input current (Icpa) should be measured at CP_A, and the switching regulator output current
(Icpb) should be measured at CP_B.
To determine efficiency, apply the following formula:
Efficiency = Vcpb*Icpb/Vcpa*Icpa
Where Vcpb is 1.05V; Vcpa is 3.3V. The measurements should be performed in gigabit traffic mode.
For example: The inductor used in the evaluation board is a GOTREND GTSD32-4R7M:
•
The ESR value @ 1MHz is approximately 0.712ohm
•
The measured Icpa is 101mA at CP_A
•
The measured Icpb is 263mA at CP_B
These values are measured in gigabit traffic mode, so the efficiency of the GOTREND GTSD32-4R7M can
be calculated as follows:
Efficiency = (1.05V*263mA)/(3.3V*101mA) = 0.823 = 82.3%.
We strongly recommend that when choosing an inductor for the switching regulator, the efficiency should
be measured, and that the inductor should yield an efficiency rating higher than 75%. If the efficiency does
not meet this requirement, there may be risk to the switching regulator reliability in the long run.

Note 1: The RTL8211F(I)/RTL8211FD(I) does not support fast 3.3V rising. The 3.3V rise time should be controlled over
0.5ms.
* A 3.3V rise time between 0.1ms to 0.5ms is conditionally permitted only if the system 3.3V power budget is sufficient to
ensure that 3.3V Overcurrent Protection (OCP) will NOT be triggered during the power-on procedure. If the rise time is less
than 0.1ms, it will induce a peak voltage in DVDD33 which may cause permanent damage to the regulator.
Note 2: If there is any action that involves consecutive ON/OFF toggling of the switching-regulator source (3.3V), the
design must make sure the OFF state of both the switching-regulator source (3.3V) and output (1.05V) reach 0V, and the
time period between the consecutive ON/OFF toggling action must be longer than 100ms.
Note 3: When using an external oscillator or clock source, on stopping the clock source the RTL8211F(I)/RTL8211FD(I)
must also be powered off.
Note 4: The RTL8211F(I)/ RTL8211FD(I) use the integrated LDO to generate the 2.5V, 1.8V/1.5V voltages for the I/O pad,
the I/O pad voltage can be selected by using the CONFIG pins CFG_LDO[1:0]. Moreover, external power source for the
I/O pad is also supported, please refer to the setting of CFG_EXT and CFG_LDO[1:0] pins (section 7.8 Hardware
Configuration, page 15).
Note 5: When using an external power source for the I/O pad , 2.5V (or 1.8/1.5V) RGMII power should rise simultaneously
or slightly earlier than 3.3V power. Rising 2.5V (or 1.8/1.5V) power later than 3.3V power may lead to errors.

10.6.2. RGMII Timing Modes
Timing for this interface will be such that the clock and data are generated simultaneously by the source of
the signals and therefore skew between the clock and data is critical to proper operation.

This implies that PC board design will require
clocks to be routed such that an additional trace
delay of greater than 1.5ns and less than 2.0ns
will be added to the associated clock signal.
