NXP Semiconductors has unveiled its first production-ready 10BASE-T1S PMD transceivers, breaking down cost and complexity barriers to bring efficient Ethernet to the intelligent edge. This innovation supports the shift toward Software-Defined Vehicles (SDV) and modern industrial architectures.
The new family includes the TJA1410 for automotive applications and the TJF1410 for industrial control and building automation. These devices combine the simplicity of CAN buses with robust Ethernet data paths, significantly lowering system costs for large-scale deployments.
Key Advantages:
Simplified Architecture: Splits the traditional Ethernet PHY. The digital portion integrates into the host MCU or switch, while the PMD handles analog signaling, drastically cutting 10Mb Ethernet deployment costs.
High Performance: The TJA1410 is fully qualified for automotive functional safety. Both devices meet the latest Open Alliance TC14 specifications and offer excellent Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) for demanding environments.
Versatile Applications: Enables OEMs to extend Ethernet to body control, comfort, and zonal architectures in cars. In industrial settings, it facilitates the migration from legacy field buses to secure, scalable Ethernet for digitalization.
“10BASE-T1S technology brings Ethernet all the way to the end node,” said Ritesh Saraf, Vice President at NXP. “Our new PMD transceivers reduce the cost and complexity, setting a new benchmark for delivering secure, high-value Ethernet solutions for next-gen software-defined architectures.”
ICgoodFind : NXP’s new PMD transceivers are here to streamline edge networking. Low-cost, reliable 10BASE-T1S Ethernet is now a reality for automotive and industrial innovators.
