VSC8211

In Production

The VSC8211 is ideal for Media Converter and 100BASE-FX applications. Its low power consumption and patented line driver technology reduce the cost and complexity of Gigabit Ethernet (GE) system designs. The VSC8211's integrated 1.25 G SerDes and Auto-Media Sense™ feature allow system designers to support Category-5 twisted pair, fiber optic, and backplane interfaces from a single device. Microchip's mixed signal and DSP architecture yields robust performance, supporting both full and half duplex 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T over >140m of Category 5, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, with industry leading tolerance to NEXT, FEXT, Echo, and system noise.Microchip's complimentary and confidential MicroCHECK design review service, which offers insight from the initial conce...
