Hi team,
I'm posting on behalf of the customer. Could you please see below question?
This is Paul from Greenlight. I’m reaching out on a separate topic for the same project.
While reviewing TI application note 1519, I came across figure 10 below.
The transformerless topologies shown in the figure make sense to me. However, I was wondering whether the topology below would also work.
Essentially, this is similar to topology C from Figure 10, but with a digital switch added to one of the PHYs. The switch toggles between one of the PHYs and an RJ45 connector with integrated magnetics.
In this configuration, would the transformerless implementation between PHY1 and PHY2 still work properly, or would the added switch compromise the design?
Would you be able to answer my question or point me to someone who is familiar with transformerless Ethernet/EtherCAT design?
