Flexible Solutions for Ethernet Networks


Add robust and reliable high-speed communication to your embedded design. Ethernet can be used in many communications, consumer, industrial, automotive and other applications that require network connectivity, including remote monitoring of systems, implementing precision industrial motor control and communicating with Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Whatever your networking challenge is, our stand-alone devices as well as microcontrollers (MCUs) and microprocessors (MPUs) with Ethernet support make it easy to implement Ethernet in your applications. We also offer timing solutions to clock our Ethernet products that you can use to achieve higher reliability and lower power consumption in your design and to meet AEC-Q100 requirements in automotive networking applications.

For high-speed Ethernet connectivity, our META-DX1 and META-DX2 families of 1–800 GbE PHYs, as well as the SimpliPHY™ family of 10/100 industrial-grade Fast Ethernet copper PHYs and the SimpliPHY and SynchroPHY™ families of Gigabit Ethernet copper and dual-media PHYs deliver mission-critical connectivity via optical fiber, copper cable or backplanes.

Ethernet Transceivers (PHYs)

Significantly reduce footprint, power consumption and cost with our high-performance PHYs. We offer 10BASE-T, 10BASE-T1S, 100BASE-TX, 100BASE-T1 and 1000BASE-T PHYs. 

We also offer high-density 100/400/800 GbE PHYs for service provider, enterprise and data center applications.

Ethernet Switches

Reduce your costs while speeding up your development with our portfolio of high-performance, small-footprint, full-featured 3- to 64-port Ethernet switches.

Single Pair Ethernet (SPE)

Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) is an Ethernet network implementation that uses a unique physical layer (PHY) transceiver over a single pair of wires. SPE reduces system cost, weight and wiring complexity when compared to traditional Ethernet multi-pair CAT5 cabling.

EtherCAT® Device Controllers

Take communication and connectivity to the next level, reduce system complexity and cost and take advantage of the flexibility to use the MCU of your choice in your embedded industrial designs with our stand-alone EtherCAT device controllers.

Ethernet AVB/TSN Endpoints

Add Audio-Video Bridging/Time-Sensitive Networking (AVB/TSN) to your product without spending time on software development. Our Ethernet AVB/TSN endpoints integrate the necessary protocols to simplify your development.

Ethernet Microcontrollers and Microprocessors

Implement robust Ethernet connectivity for a wide variety of applications with our highly integrated MCUs and MPUs with on-board Ethernet support.

Ethernet Bridges

Shorten your development time with flexible options for implementing Ethernet connectivity to a host processor via USB, High-Speed Inter-Chip (HSIC), Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI™) or PCI Express® (PCIe®) interfaces.

Ethernet Controllers

Take some complexity and cost out of your design with our Ethernet 10/100 controllers that bring a glue-less connection to most common 16-bit MPUs and MCUs as well as 32-bit MPUs with a 16-bit external bus.

Power Over Ethernet (PoE)

We offer a comprehensive, end-to-end portfolio of PoE solutions comprised of PoE ICs and PoE systems (midspans/injectors and switches). As both a system and chipset supplier, we provide PoE solutions to address your unique business requirements.
