The LAN8672 is a high-performance 10BASE-T1S single-pair Ethernet PHY transceiver for 10 Mbit/s half-duplex networking over a single pair of conductors. Utilizing standard Ethernet technology in sensor/actuator networks reduces application costs by eliminating gateways necessary with legacy networking technologies. The ability to connect multiple PHYs onto a common mixing segment further saves implementation costs by reducing cabling and switch ports. The LAN8672 is designed for use in high-reliability cost sensitive automotive, industrial, backplane, and building automation sensor/actuator applications.
