LPC2388 + Micrel KSZ8721 chip

Started by freudenbergerdavid September 10, 2009
Hello,

I'm working on a project based on a LPC2388 and a Micrel KSZ8721 chip. I purchased a kit from Olimex (LPC2378 board) and I found out there was a mistake on the schematic : the pin 22 (CRS) and the pin 9 (CRSDV) of the Micrel are connected together on the board (a small wire below the chip has been added) but it is not mentionned on the schematic...

Why these pins are connected together ? I don't know if it same on the others designs from Olimex (LPC2468/78 for instance) but on the Keil board (LPC23xx), the chip used is a Micrel too (almost the same chip) and both signals are separated...

Any informations about this ?

Thank you in advance !

Hi:

Additionally, these two pins are outputs from the PHY and should not be tied together, to avoid damage of the internal drivers.

On the LPC2468 the CRS and CRS_DV are the same pin as they both have a similar function one is CARRIER SENSE for MII interface and the other is CARRIER SENSE/DATA VALID for the RMII interface.
