Ethernet Network Solutions

Flexible Solutions for Space Ethernet Networks

Ethernet can be used in many space applications that require network connectivity, including data management, image processing and remote monitoring of systems. Whatever your networking challenge is, our stand-alone switches and Physical Layer Transceivers (PHYs) and Ethernet-embedded microcontrollers (MCUs) and FPGAs make it easy to implement Ethernet in your applications.

Featured Solution

The space industry is shifting its connectivity interfaces from traditional dedicated networks to Ethernet solutions that provide added flexibility and simplify the design process.

To streamline the implementation of Ethernet for aerospace and defense customers, have have added the VSC8574RT PHY to our portfolio of radiation-tolerant PHYs.

The VSC8574RT PHY supports the Serial Gigabit Media Independent Interface (SGMII) and Quad Serial Gigabit Media-Independent Interface (QSGMII) to reduce the number of signal pins in the design and free up the host device.
