Ethernet transceivers

11 July 2012 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

The number of applications requiring Ethernet connectivity continues to expand. Along with this increased market demand is a change in application requirements. Where single-channel Ethernet used to be sufficient, many applications such as wireless remote base stations and industrial networking now require dual-port functionality for redundancy or system management.

With the PHYTER family of high-speed industrial connectivity products, National Semiconductor provides a powerful combination of features, flexibility and robustness to ease Ethernet implementation for designers of factory automation, motor and motion control, wireless remote base station, medical instrumentation and general embedded systems. National’s high-speed industrial connectivity devices feature electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection at 4000 V and guarantee IEEE 802.3u compliance by testing every part that is shipped beyond the specification.

National offers devices in commercial, industrial and extreme temperature ranges for solutions that are geared for even the harshest of environments. Additionally, the company offers features such as flex-port switching which allows the DP83849 dual device to configure each port to provide fully integrated range extension, media conversion, hardware-based failover and port monitoring.

The DP83849 includes a powerful new diagnostic tool to ensure successful network cabling installation and dynamic link quality monitoring for continuous network operation.
