MDIO Protocol Analyzer and Exerciser (PGY-MDIO-EX-PD) is the Protocol Analyzer with multiple features to capture and debug communication between the host and the design under test. PGY-MDIO-EX-PD is the leading instrument that enables the design and test engineers to test the respective MDIO designs for their specifications by configuring the PGY-MDIO-EX-PD as Master/Slave, generating MDIO traffic and decoding the MDIO protocol decode packets.
MDIO also called Management Data Input/Output, or MDIO, is a 2-wire serial bus that is used to manage physical layer devices in media access controllers (MACs) in Gigabit Ethernet equipment. The management of these PHYs is based on the access and modification of their various registers.
