Microchip announces a new portfolio of 48 Gigabit Ethernet chips featuring advanced capabilities, certified compliance, comprehensive software support and copy-ready evaluation tools. The new suite of products, known together as GigEpack, aims to reduce complexity and remove barriers in deploying high-speed networks, opening up new uses and applications.

The GigEpack includes the industry’s first single-chip Gigabit Ethernet switches with integrated HSR/DLR redundancy for ultra-high reliability in critical manufacturing applications. Also included is the industry’s first automotive-grade USB 3.1 Gen 1 to Gigabit Ethernet bridge which supports advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and infotainment systems on a variety of physical network layers.

All products are certified by University of New Hampshire Interoperability (UNH-IOP) testing, and come with free software drivers that are certified or third-party approved for use with all major operating systems running on copy-ready evaluation boards. The GigEpack is backed by Microchip’s free LANCheck online design service that reviews customer designs, ensuring best design practices are used.

The suite of products includes three product families. The new KSZ9477/9567/9897 switch family includes features that allow users to create ultra-reliable networks with HSR/DLR redundancy and transport audio and video with audio/video bridging (AVB). The KSZ9567 switch, for example, has 7 ports, an SGMII interface and also features EtherSynch technology, providing support for real-time Ethernet, IEEE 1588 v2 precision time protocol (PTP), AVB and time-sensitive networking (TSN).

The new LAN7800/LAN7850/LAN7801 bridge family enables customers to add Gigabit Ethernet to embedded processors via USB 3.1 Gen 1, USB 2.0 or high speed inter-chip (HSIC) bridging to a variety of physical layers such as 1000Base-T, or 100Base-T1 and HDBaseT via RGMII.
