LAN8672C2-E/LNX [Microchip]

The LAN8672 is a high-performance 10BASE-T1S single-pair Ethernet PHY transceiver for 10 Mbit/s half-duplex networking over a single pair of conductors. Utilizing standard Ethernet technology in sensor/actuator networks reduces application costs by eliminating gateways necessary with legacy networking technologies. The ability to connect multiple PHYs onto a common mixing segment further saves implementation costs by reducing cabling and switch ports. The LAN8672 is designed for use in high-reliability cost sensitive automotive, industrial, backplane, and building automation sensor/actuator applications.

Microchip's complimentary and confidential MicroCHECK design review service, which offers insight from the initial concept to the final PCB layout, is available to customers who are using our products in their projects. You can confidently submit your design materials in a secure and private setting, and our expert engineers will provide individualized feedback to enhance your design. MicroCHECK design review service is subject to Microchip's Program Terms and Conditions and requires a myMicrochip account.

The LAN8672 is designed to be used in ISO 26262 Functional Safety applications. A Functional Safety Package is available, including Safety Manual; Failure Modes, Effects, and Diagnostic Analysis (FMEDA); and Dependent Failure Analysis (DFA).
