16.7.1 PHY Placement Recommendations Minimizing the amount of space needed for the PHY is important because other interfaces compete for physical space on a motherboard near the connector. The PHY circuits need to be as close as possible to the connector. The figure below illustrates some basic placement distance guidelines. To simplify the diagram, it shows only two differential pairs, but the layout can be generalized for a GbE system with four analog pairs. The ideal placement for the PHY (LAN silicon) is approximately one inch behind the magnetics module. While it is generally a good idea to minimize lengths and distances, this figure also illustrates the need to keep the PHY away from the edge of the board and the magnetics module for best EMI performance. Figure 16-10.LAN Device Placement: At Least One Inch from Chassis Openings or Unsheilded Connectors--Non-Mobile Note: * this distance is variable and follows the general guidelines. The PHY, referred to as “LAN Device” in the above figure, must be at least one inch from the I/O back panel. To help reduce EMI, the following recommendations should be followed: • Minimize the length of the MDI interface. See detail in table below: MDI Routing Summary • Place the MDI traces no closer than 0.5 inch (1.3 cm) from the board edge. • The 82579 PHY must be placed greater than 1 away from any hole to the outside of the chassis larger than 0.125 inches (125 mils) The larger the hole the higher the probability the EMI and ESD immunity will be negatively affected. • The 82579 PHY should be placed greater than 250mils from the board edge. • If the connector or integrated magnetics module is not shielded, the 82579 should be placed at least one inch from the magnetics (if a LAN switch is not used). • Placing the 82579 closer than one inch to Unsheilded magnetics or connectors will increase the probability of failed EMI and common mode noise. If the LAN switch is too far away it will negatively af
