Power efficient Ethernet PHY targets automotive

The BCM89811 Ethernet transceiver (PHY) IC enables new use cases for automotive Ethernet beyond Infotainment and ADAS into telematics, radio antennas, instrumentation clusters, head unit, and center stack module applications. Delivering 100 Mbits/s over a single unshielded twisted pair, the highly integrated chip comes in an ultra-small 6 x 6 mm package.

The devices automotive-qualified low power design reduces power consumption up to 30%, compared to the previous generation device. The ICs low-pass filters lower emissions and on-chip regulators handle power management. It is sampling now.
