About

Automotive-grade qualification and versatility

The BRIGHTLANE™ 88EA1512 transceiver is fully AECQ100 qualified, making it ideal for automotive applications. It supports a wide range of connectivity options, including RGMII (reduced pin count GMII) to Copper/Fiber/SGMII with Auto-Media Detect, RGMII to Copper, RGMII to SGMII/Fiber, and SGMII to Copper connections. The device also integrates MDI interface termination resistors into the PHY. This resistor integration simplifies board layout and reduces board cost by reducing the number of external components. The new Marvell calibrated resistor scheme will achieve and exceed the accuracy requirements of the IEEE 802.3 return loss specifications.

Low power consumption with high efficiency

The BRIGHTLANE™ 88EA1512 features an integrated switching voltage regulator, allowing operation from a single 3.3 V supply while supporting 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V LVCMOS I/O standards. Utilizing advanced mixed-signal processing, it performs equalization, echo and crosstalk cancellation, data recovery, and error correction at a gigabit-per-second data rate, achieving robust performance in noisy environments with very low power dissipation.

Designed to meet the specific needs of our customers the BRIGHTLANE™ 88EA1512 offers several features and enefits, including:

  • Automotive qualified : AEC-Q100, automotive grade 2 (-40 °C to +105 °C)
  • Package characteristics: 56-pin QFN package, 0.5 mm pitch, 8 mm x 8 mm
  • Modes of operation: MII to copper (10/100BASE-T/TX), RGMII to copper (10/100/1000BASE-T/TX/T), SGMII to copper (10/100/1000BASE-T/TX/T), RGMII to fiber (1000BASE-X), RGMII to SGMII, RGMII to copper/fiber/SGMII (auto-media detect)
  • Low latency: Reduces the PHY latency (transmit and receive) by up to 40 percent compared to non-optimized designs, total (RX+TX) latency < 400 ns (for both 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T modes with 1518 byte frames)
  • EEE support (IEEE 802.3az): Extended energy savings through incorporation of the IEEE 802.3az standard
  • IEEE 1588v2 support with hardware acceleration: Enables applications such as industrial automation and wireless backhaul with highly accurate Precision Time Protocol, Supports hardware accelerated 2-Step PTP and 1-Step PTP
  • Integrated switching voltage regulator: Allows devices to run off single 3.3 V supply
  • Wake on LAN (WoL): Power savings through programmable lower power event/ pattern and link change detection
  • Advanced Virtual Cable Tester® (VCT™): Detects and reports potential cabling issues to within one meter of the distance to the fault
  • Expanded PHY addresses: Offers 16 PHY addresses for easier programming
