Ethernet Bridge Devices
Ethernet bridge devices enable you to implement Ethernet connectivity to a host processor via USB, High-Speed Inter-Chip (HSIC), Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI™) or PCI Express® (PCIe®) interfaces. In the case of USB, these solutions enable fanning out the local bus, providing flexibility towards additional downstream ports.
PCIe-to-Ethernet Bridging
- Fully integrated 10/100/1000/2500 Mbps networking solutions
- MII/RGMII/SGMII+ interfaces for flexible integration
- Harness power advantages within the PCIe 3.1 specification for a modern design approach
- Single supply, single clock or crystal
- IEEE 1588 and IEEE 802.1AS Precision Time Protocol (PTP)
- Comprehensive reporting and diagnostic features
- Industrial and extended industrial options available
USB-to-Ethernet Hub Combination Bridging
- Fully integrated 2-, 3- and 4-port Hi-Speed USB 2.0 hub and 10/100 Ethernet controllers
