Dear sir,
Does the ADIN1100 have the RMII timing specification?
thanks.

Hi ChengHsien,
The MAC interfaces on our devices are fully compliant with the IEEE802.3 specifications and the timing spec can be found in the IEEE802.3 document.
You can find the RMII spec in the following link: rmii_rev12.pdf (pldworld.com)

Hi Shazia,
Certainly! Here's the revised text:
Thank you for your response. I have a question below:
ADIN1100 datasheet recommends VS p-p > 1.0 V (ac coupling) and C1 and C2 placed near the ADIN1100 XTAL_I/CLK_IN pin in RMII mode, and the signal will become an AC.
However, the REF_CLK is a DC signal in the RMII specification.
How should I reference the voltage level of the REF_CLK?
Regards,
Tommy
Hi Tommy,
The AC coupled clock is a requirement of the CLK_IN of our device for its correct operation. This is independent of the RMII specification.

Shazia
Hi Shazia,
The datasheet for ADIN 1100 states that in RMII mode, the reference CLK is the XTAL_I/REF_CLK pin.
So, if I want to measure the RMII Tsu and Thold, the test point will be closer to the PHY side.
Regards,
Tommy
Hi Tommy,
Yes, the test point needs to be as close as possible. However, if you are using our evaluation board and measuring at P201, please note that it has not been optimized to measure these signals, so the rise and fall times may be affected by the parasitic capacitances of the traces.
Regards,
Shazia
Hi Shazia,
Thank you for your response.
I have another question: Which clock should I use as a reference for Tsu and Thold?
Regards,
Tommy
Hi ChengHsien
If what you want to check is if a given MAC is compliant with the RMII specification, then the clock to measure Tsu and Thold is the clock generated by such MAC. Again, not to be confused by the clocking requirements on the CLK_IN pin of the ADIN1100.

Shazia
Hi Shazia,
Thank you for your response.
RMII signal connects like this,
and REF_CLK like this,
I drew our design like this, and is the CLK measurement point located as shown below, right?
Hi Tommy,
If you want to verify if the MAC is compliant, then yes, the measurement point looks correct. To measure the clock at the ADIN1100, use the XTAL_I/CLK_IN pin.

Shazia
Hi Shazia,
Thank you for your response.
If I want to verify if the ADIN1100 is compliant, which point should I measure?
