MaxLinear launched two 1000BASE-T Ethernet Switches (GSW125, GSW145) and a quad-port 2.5GBASE-T PHY (GPY245), expanding its Ethernet product portfolio to better serve harsh temperature environments.
The GPY245 quad-port 2.5GBASE-T industrial PHY supports
- Low power consumption below 3.5W in 2.5GBASE-T mode
- An effective rBOM
- Industrial grade features like MACSec, PTP and SyncE
- Either 4 x 2.5G SGMII or a 10G USXGMII-M MAC interface
- Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) to reduce power consumption during low traffic periods
- The low pin count and small size package (236 pin BGA 12mmx12mm) make this product ideal for 4-layer PCBs.
The GSW125, GSW145 industrial 1000BASE-T switches support
- Two or four twisted-pair interfaces (PHYs)
- Two MAC interfaces which can be 2.5G SGMII and RGMII
- QoS to prioritize switch traffic for different classes of applications, such as VoIP, video, audio, and data based on port ID
- Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) to reduce power consumption during low traffic periods
- They are available in a small size 105 pin 8mmx8mm MRQFN package.
“MaxLinear has a 40-year history of being a leading supplier in industrial interface devices, having shipped over 1B serial transceivers over the past five years,” said James Lougheed, Vice President of Marketing, High Performance Analog. “As the requirements for industrial-grade Ethernet products continue to grow, we continue to invest to remain in a strong position to support these fast-growing markets.”
“Verifone, a global FinTech leader and payment solution provider to the world’s largest retail brands, recently adopted the MaxLinear GSW145 Quad-port 1G Ethernet switch for its Engage family of payment terminals that provide secure, reliable and flexible payment experiences to merchants around the world,” said Henry Wang, Global Commodity Director at Verifone. “This builds on the established relationship we have with MaxLinear as our supplier for our Interface product needs.”
