Single port 100base-T Fiber interface solution

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ONET4201PA, ONET4201LD

1) What is best cost effective solution we have for single port fiber 100base-T communication interface...?

2) what will be the interface to the MCU..?

3) SerDes is the only option for Fiber interface..?

4)Whether the MCU comes with a SerDes in-built..?

5)If SerDes comes externally what will be the interface to MCU and minimum requirement for MCU..?

 

Regards,

Dinu.

  • Dinu,

    We do not specifically have fiber optic components (laser drivers, transimpedance amplifiers or limiting amplifiers) for 100base-T. We focus more on higher speed communications like 10GBASE-SR and 10GBASE-LR. It is possible to use the ONET4201LD and ONET4201PA for 100Mbps even those ICs were designed for data rates up to 4.25Gbps. I suggest you review the ONET products on the TI website.

    This specific forum does not cover SERDES or MCUs so I suggest you refer these questions to an embedded processing forum.

    Regards,

    Alex.

  • Thanks Alex. I will write this query to embedded processing.
