Phyter family fixes Ethernet
National Semiconductor has introduced the Phyter family of 10/100 physical layer Ethernet transceivers, which address the needs of embedded design engineers who are developing products requiring network connectivity.
has introduced the Phyter family of application specific 10/100 physical layer Ethernet transceivers. National's new Phyter family of commercial, industrial and extreme-environment Ethernet transceivers are said to be the first to address the expansive needs of embedded design engineers who are developing products that require network connectivity.
The Phyter commercial (DP83848C) transceiver reportedly addresses the quality, reliability and cost requirements of embedded developers networking their devices for the home.
In addition to features such as IEEE 802.3u specification compliance, UNH interoperability certification, Auto-MDIX and up to 137 metres of cable reach, National's DP83848C incorporates a number of system cost-reducing features not found on other suppliers' physical layer products (PHYs). For example, the DP83848C incorporates a 25 MHz clock-out that eliminates the need of an additional media access control (MAC) clock source component. Between board space and component savings, National's Phyter commercial transceiver eliminates up to 75 cents in system cost per port.
