1GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 Functionality and Features of the 1000BASE-T1 SFP
Module A2 PHY
Figure 1-1: 1000BASE-T1 SFP Module A2 Phy
The Technica Engineering 1000BASE-T1 SFP Module A2 PHY fits into a standard Small
Form-factor Pluggable slot
It uses the SGMII and generates 1000 Mbit/s full duplex.
Note: SERDES interface is not supported!
Note: 100BASE-T1 is not supported!
After power up, it self-configures to Automotive 1000BASE-T1.
Registers of the integrated transceiver are accessible via I²C interface for diagnosis
and reconfiguration.
IMPORTANT: The SFP Modules do not work in a “plug-and-play” manner with any SFP-
capable system. Only the use with our MediaGateway (** place Link) here ** can be

guaranteed. In order to set-up the SFP Modules to work in your system, you must be
able to interface via I²C and get in touch with Marvell (the phy manufacturer) to receive
the NDA protected phy-register setting datasheet in order to initialize the phy properly.
In this regard, Technica cannot support, due to NDA restrictions.
One Link LED shows link status.

1.1.4 General operating and safety strategy of Technica
Engineering’s Products
Technica Engineering’s products are designed for operation in automotive systems
and for supply voltages of nominal 12 V or 24 V. The applicable limit values adhere to
the standard norms for 12 V or 24 V automotive onboard power systems
correspondingly and can be found in the mentioned norms.
Should Technica Engineering’s products be operated in voltage ranges beyond those
specified in the norms, which represents a breach of the conditions of operation, then
this will void the product warranty and Technica Engineering will assume no liability
whatsoever of the results and/or consequences thereof.
This is especially valid whenever the voltage level reaches or exceeds the limits of the
low-voltage directive. In this case, damage to the devices cannot be excluded. Due to
the manufacturing characteristics of the devices, there is no imminent fire hazard from
the device itself, if the devices are being operated in an environment according to the
conditions of use. A secondary fire hazard cannot be excluded, should those
conditions not be met. A protection against overvoltage cannot be provided in such a
breach of the conditions of use.
1.1.5 General design rules for the power supply of Technica
Engineering’s products
The power supply circuit of Technica Engineering’s products are equipped with self-
protection components. This automatic function protects the devices against
excessive temperature and too high supply-voltage by switching the device off. This
automatic switch-off function is independent of any software function.
The root-cause of excessive temperature in the power supply circuit can eventually be
due to a too high environment temperature or due to an internal failure of the device.
In both cases, the automatic switch-off function will switch-off the power supply from
the device to avoid further damage.
The protection against too high supply-voltage protects the device even in case of an
internal failure of the Technica Engineering device.

3STARTUP AND CONFIGURATION
3.1 Startup
After 3.3 Volt power is applied, the SFP module starts up and self-configures the
88Q2112_A2 transceiver by MDIO interface. This lasts 100ms. Do not apply any I2C
activity on the bus during this time!
3.2 Self-Configuration
The SFP Module configures itself to 1000BASE-T1 after power up. Master-/Slave
Configuration is done according to the DIP switch on the bottom of the device.
To reconfigure the DIP switch the lock has to be opened (see pictures).
ON/right = as Master
OFF/ left = as Slave

3.3 I2C Interface
3.3.1 I2C configuration
100ms after power up of the module it can be configured by I2C.
The module operates with fSCL up to 53kHz without requiring clock stretching.
The module may clock stretch with fSCL greater than 53kHz and up to 400 kHz.
The module processor listens as slave on the 7-bit address 0x50.
Note: b1010 000X = 0xA0
Read access beyond address 95 will return 0x00.
The 88Q2112_A2 transceiver can be accessed at I2C slave 7-bit address 0x40.
Note: b1000 000X = 0x80
The 88Q2112_A1 PHY does not support I2C interfaces. However, the microcontroller
acts as a bridge between the host and the PHY. Commands from the Host are
processed by the microcontroller. The microcontroller accesses to the PHY trough
MDIO interface and forwards the information to the Host.
For a complete register map please have a look at the 88Q2112_A1 datasheet (NDA
required).

3.3.3 I2C Device addressing and operation
3.3.3.1 I2C Current address read
The current read operation only requires the device address read word to be sent.
When the acknowledge is received from the SFP module, the current address data
word is serially clocked out.

1000BASE-T1 SFP MODULE User Manual
14
Example: Read the current address of the SFP module (b1010000X).
3.3.3.2 Random address read
The random address read requires two operations to perform the read.
Example: Read a random address of the SFP module (b1010000X)
First a write operation to specify the address desired to read:

1000BASE-T1 SFP MODULE User Manual
15
Then a read operation to read the previous address specified:
3.3.3.3 Sequential read
The sequential reads are started by either a current word address read or a random
address read. To specify a sequential read, the host responds with an acknowledge
instead of a stop after each data word.
First a write operation to specify the address desired to read:

1000BASE-T1 SFP MODULE User Manual
16
Then the read operations:
3.3.3.4 Byte Write
The write operation requires 8-bits of data word address following the device address
write word and acknowledgement.
Example: Byte write operation into the SFP module (b1010000X)
3.3.3.5 Sequential write
The sequential write is started in the same way as a single byte write, but the host
master does not send a stop condition after the first word is clocked in.

3.3.4 I2C access to the 88Q2112_A2 transceiver
The 88Q2112_A2 PHY listens as slave on the 7-bit address 0x40. Every internal register
of the PHY (16 bits) is accessed by defining the Device Number (1 byte) and the
Register address (2 bytes). The I2C Memory address is mapped as:
Address
Register name
0x00
Device number
0x01
Register_address_MSB
0x02
Register_address_LSB
0x03
PHY_Register_Operation_Status

PHY_Register_Operation_Status
oBit 0 –Read Start Condition Flag (Read/Write)
This flag is set by the master after specifying the first 3 bytes of the register
(Devices number, Register_address_MSB and Register_address_LSB) when a
read operation is trigged.
oBit 1 –Read In Progress Flag (Read)
This flag is set by the slave during the reading operation
oBit 2 –Read Operation Done Flag (Read)
This flag is set by the slave when the reading operation is finished. This flag can
be read after triggering the read to ensure that the data has finished reading.

oBit 3 –Write Start Condition Flag (Read)
This flag is set by the slave when a write operation is trigged.
oBit 4 –Write In Progress Flag (Read)
This flag is set by the slave during the writing operation
oBit 5 –Write Operation Done Flag (Read)
This flag is set by the slave when the writing operation is finished. This flag can
be read after writing the PHY_register_data_LSB to ensure that the data has
finished writing
PHY_register_data_MSB
When a reading operation, this register contains the MSB of the PHY register.
When a write operation, this register contains the MSB to write in the PHY
register
PHY_register_data_LSB
When a reading operation, this register contains the LSB of the PHY register.
