DS125MB203: Combine multi data line

Shuhei Goto

Part Number: DS125MB203

Tool/software:

Hi team,

Customer seek the device which is able to combine and output multi Ethernet data line.

Does this device select input line by register SEL[1:0], doesn't it?
Then, Is it possible to switch input data lines at high speed for each dataset?
The speed of the SMBus is slower than that of GbEthernet, so I think it is difficult.

Could you give any comment?

Best regards,
Goto

All modern Ethernet variants use point-to-point connections and do not allow connecting three devices together. Exactly what kind of switching to you want to do?

Which Ethernet variant are you using?

TI makes specialized 1:2 Ethernet switches.

Hi Goto,

Like Clemens said, it would be helpful to know more details about the application. Are you looking for a SERDES device or MUX device? What type of Ethernet is this for?

Thanks,
Drew
