ENC28J60 Question
PostPosted: Wed Jun 14, 2006 2:20 pm     Reply with quote

Hi,

I am trying to properly wire up the circuit for the ENC28J60. I would like to know if the device will link up (LEDA/B) will see ethernet even without the chip being wired into the MCU yet. I've been having trouble getting the circuitry correct, anyone want to point me in the right direction? Also, will 51 Ohm resistors do justice instead of the 50 ohm? Also, is the ferrite bead even needed to make it work?

Thanks!

Have you looked at the reference designs ?

Frame Thrower board:

PicTail board:

Schematics are available in this directory after installation:

Yeah, those are the schematics i've been basing this off of. I think a problem I am having is with the Pulse jack I have.

The datasheet (http://www.pulseeng.com/products/datasheets/J402.pdf) on the J1006 connector shows that pin 1 starts on the top right. However, on the jack itself, the top row of pins is actually on the left of the bottom row. So its opposite of how it is now. Anyone use this jack before with some sucess?

Thanks

There are two versions of this jack: "Tab up" and "Tab down".

You may actually have the "Tab down" jack. Download the data sheet
for the J403 series. Compare the photo on the data sheet to the jack
that you have.

I have not tried it without wiring the MCU but I have without the MCU being programmed. The Link LED will function without the MCU initialising the ENC. However if the MCU does initialise the ENC controller and does it incorrectly then the LEDs may or may not provide any useful indication.

From my trolling of various forums, the most common error with "roll your owns" hardware implementations is the incorrect termination between the ENC and the RJ45 connectors with embedded magnetics. You must ensure that the specific RJ45 you are using is wired correctly to the ENC.

Yes

It will work with a link in place of the ferrite for debugging purposes.

I have a few reference designs published. Here is a link:

Very wierd. I just double checked those datasheets, I am looking at the right one TAB-UP PulseJack J1006F01P.

Very odd

Thanks guys, I've got the ENC working perfectly! It seemed to be the magnetics that was the problem, I did a little trial and error with the PulseJack (since the datasheet was still wrong) and I eventually got it to work.

I have some troble. I forgot to use magnetic transformer. I directly connect pin TPOUT and TPIN to RJ45 (without transformer). Is my enj28j60 chip damaged?
thx

There is a good chance it is damaged.
