10Gbps XAUI Transceiver
TRC3114 is a Quad SerDes used as four independent 3.125Gb/s FC, BP, or cable transceiver or 10Gbps XAUI Transceive.
Overview
TRC3114 is a Quad SerDes used as four independent 3.125Gb/s FC, BP, or cable transceiver or 10Gbps XAUI Transceive. It operates with a single 1.8V supply. It has built-in 8bit/10bit converter, low jitter clock synthesizer, P/S and S/P converter, CDR PLL, selectable equalizer and pre-emphasis, BIST function, JTAG (1149.1), MDIO (clauses 22 & 45). It uses only 3 resistors as external components. I/O can be 1.8V SSTL_18 or 1.5V HSTL. It is fabricated in 256 pin PBGA package, with total Pd of 1.2W.

Ethernet Auto-Negotiation: Enabling Seamless Link Optimization
Ethernet has evolved significantly from 10 Mbps shared media to today’s multi-hundred gigabit high-speed links. One foundational feature that has enabled this scalability and ease of deployment is Auto-Negotiation (AN).
Enhancing Ethernet Security with MACsec
Ethernet was originally designed for high-speed data transfer and interoperability between devices. However, traditional Ethernet does not provide built-in mechanisms for securing data traffic, such as encryption or authenticity protection. This is where MACsec comes into the picture.
What Makes Ethernet IP Truly Automotive-Grade
This blog examines what separates truly automotive-grade Ethernet IP from generic implementations across functional safety, time-sensitive networking, security, observability, lifecycle management, and the integration disciplines that only become visible once a program is deep into development.
