Hi,
I have a 100Mbps PoE application which requires the RJ45 connecter to be on a separate board from the SoC where the MAC is integrated. We have an FFC connector between the two boards. We are trying to determine the best way to distribute the RJ45/Magnetics/PHY and MAC. Based on what I've found so far, it seems like routing the RMII signals over the impedance-controlled FFC cable is the best option. Do you have any recommendations for this application?
Thanks!
Emma
