Ethernet PHYs for in-vehicle networks

Infineon’s BRIGHTLANE™ automotive Ethernet PHY family sets the benchmark for high-performance, scalable, and future-ready in-vehicle networking. Supporting the most extensive range of Ethernet standards, including 10GBASE-T1, 5GBASE-T1, 2.5GBASE-T1, 1000BASE-T1, 100BASE-T1, 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 10BASE-T, BRIGHTLANE™ Ethernet PHY ICs (integrated chips) ensure high-performance connectivity for advanced zonal vehicle architectures.

Built on a standard digital CMOS process, BRIGHTLANE™ automotive PHY solutions comply with global Ethernet standards, including IEEE 802.3ch (2.5G/5G/10GBASE-T1), IEEE 802.3bp (1000BASE-T1), and IEEE 802.3bw (100BASE-T1). All multi-gigabit PHYs deliver high-speed data transmission and contain the active circuitry required to implement the physical layer functions on a single balanced twisted-pair cable, enabling reduced wiring complexity. Its robust design ensures seamless operation across electronic control units, cameras, sensors, and controllers, supporting the data backbone required for connected vehicles.

The BRIGHTLANE™ Ethernet PHY family is optimized for low power consumption, automotive-grade reliability, and compliance with AEC-Q100 standards. This makes it the ideal solution for a wide range of applications, from ADAS and Infotainment systems to Zonal controllers.
