Ethernet transceiver ideal for FA environment

"DP83822" is a 10/100 Ethernet physical layer transceiver provided by Texas Instruments.
This article explains the following three features and benefits of the DP83822.

  1. The industry's highest durability, ideal for I/F with FA equipment and motor drives in harsh environments
  2. Compatible with EtherCAT®
  3. Low power consumption

1. Best durability in the industry, ideal for I/F with FA equipment and motor drives in harsh environments

The DP83822 meets the following performance:

  • Electrostatic Discharge Human Body Model (HBM): ±16 kV or more
  • Electrostatic discharge protection performance: ±8kV or more
  • Temperature range: -40 to 125°C (-40 to 85°C depending on model number)


The static resistance is more than double that of competitors, and the operating temperature range is -40 to 125°C (DP83822H), making it the industry's highest level of durability.

It is the ideal device for factory automation and motor control that are exposed to harsh environments.

2. Compatible with EtherCAT®

The DP83822 has environmental resistance and a high operating temperature range, so it can be used even when communicating with EtherCAT®, which is expected to spread in FA equipment and motor drives in the future.

EtherCAT® is one of the industrial open field network standards compatible with Ethernet, proposed by the German company Beckhoff Automation.

In addition to EtherCAT®, PROFINET and Ethernet/IP can also be used as industrial open networks.

3. Low power consumption

DP83822 has three energy saving modes.

  • Normal mode
  • Active sleep mode
  • Passive sleep mode


Power consumption can be reduced appropriately by using the energy saving mode.

When used with a 1.8V power supply, the power consumption of the analog power supply is less than 110mW.
* Conditions: 100Base-TX, RMII, Link-up, no transmission
