Ethernet Common Mode Voltage

According to the IEEE Std 802.3™‐2022 the magnitude of the total common-mode output voltage of the transmitter shall be less than 50 mV peak to peak at frequencies above 1 MHz for 10BaseT and 1000BaseT.

Description

10Base-T
Common-mode output voltage (IEEE Std 802.3™‐2022 – 14.3.1.2.5)

1000Base-T
MDI common-mode output voltage (IEEE Std 802.3™‐2022 – 40.8.3.3)

Pattern Criteria
10BaseT Pseudo Random < 50mV pkp
1000BaseT Test Mode 4 < 50mV pkp
