Single port 10/100 Fast Ethernet Transceiver - TSMC12nm FFC
SP-10 100ETHERNET-T12FFC is a single-port DSP-based Fast Ethernet Transceiver.
Overview
SP-10 100ETHERNET-T12FFC is a single-port DSP-based Fast Ethernet Transceiver. It contains all the active
circuitry required to convert data stream to and from a Media Access Control (MAC) and from and to the
physical media. It supports 100Base-TX and 10BASE-T networks over twisted-pair cable in full-duplex or half-duplex mode. Both the Media Independent Interface(MII)
and Reduced Media Independent Interface (RMII) are supported.

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.
