1. Introduction
This document describes the usage of the TJA1100 Customer Evaluation Board. The
Board supports the evaluation of the TJA1100 with providing (MII) a 40-pins standard
header (including MII/SMI/control signals/power supplies. Details can be found in section
2.3.1) with 2,54mm pinning distance to a host controller board, the bus interface (MDI)
including a srew terminal (SMKDS) connector as well as needed components for the
power supply and operation. Further information is given in the following sections.
Please note: the evaluation board has been designed for functional evaluation of the
PHY in your environment. The evaluation board is not intended for EMC or compliance
qualification measurements.
This product has not undergone formal EU EMC assessment. As a component used in a
research environment, it will be the responsibility of the user to ensure the finished
assembly does not cause undue interference when used and cannot be CE marked
unless assessed.

2. Board Setup
2.1 PHY Assembly
The TJA1100 is provided in a HVQFN-36 package (8x8sqmm). In case the TJA1100 on
the customer evaluation board must be changed, please ensure the correct placement.
The Pin 1 is located at the bottom right and is marked with a small white arrow (see Fig
2).
2.2 Jumper Settings
2.2.1 Bit Strapping
The TJA1100 has several configuration pins for a pre-configuration during startup. The
following tables give an overview of the related jumpers and possible configurations, as
shown also in Fig 3. At the PCB (Fig 4) the orientation for High (H) and Low (L) is
marked.
Please note: all pre-configuration (except for the PHY addresses) can be overwritten via
SMI command.
PHY address is used for the SMI address and for initialization of the Cipher scrambler
key. The PHY address is five bits (PHYAD4…PHYAD0), and PHYAD4 is the MSB of the
address.
PHYAD[4:2] are set to “001” in the TJA1100. PHYAD[1:0] are pre-determined by bit
strapping.

Table 2. Bit Strapping PHY-address
The TJA1100 can be configured as Master or Slave, as well as Managed or Autonomous
operation. When the TJA1100 is configured for Autonomous operation, the PHY will
automatically enter Normal mode and activate the link on power-on without further
interaction with a host controller.
Table 3. Bit Strapping Master/Slave Configuration
Table 4. Bit Strapping Managed/autonomous Operation
The TJA1100 provides below MII modes, which can be configured via bit strapping.
