Reading this forum, the advice is the magnetics need to be in a ‘Symmetrical Transformer’ arrangement.
But… I have initially based my design using this connector:
Which uses the LPJ0026GENL
The datasheet clearly shows it’s an Asymmetrical transformer.
… So I just want to check if I should change my design (it’s still possible)
Have they selected the wrong magnetics??
The device is going to be plugged into a switch (which supports auto-MDIX)
They will probably use a patch cable, but I don’t want a support request if they use a crossover.
Based on your advice - I suppose I better stick with the reference design as suggested by Wiznet…
Thanks.
