Engineering relevance & design considerations

These new devices support the shift from 1 G to 2.5 G Ethernet, enabling higher bandwidth without the full cost of 10G infrastructure. The integration of PHY and switch functionality reduces component count and board complexity, while support for industrial temperature grades broadens deployment possibilities.

Designers benefit from a scalable component family that supports system-level decisions on bandwidth, reliability and integration. Features such as Web-Smart management, SerDes uplinks and evaluation kits offer practical entry points for testing and qualification in demanding environments.

Why TOP-electronics highlights this

Enhanced connectivity for security, industrial IoT and embedded systems
Industrial-grade reliability for harsh environments
Integrated feature sets (Web-Smart support, 10G uplinks) for advanced system architectures
Long-term availability and broad portfolio coverage
