Q1 Ethernet Data Centre Switch sales rose over 40% – the strongest growth since Dell’Oro began separately tracking the market in 2013. Celestica and NVIDIA captured the lion’s share of the gains, each gaining five percentage points of market share. “AI investments continue to accelerate at unprecedented level, even amid tariff disruptions—propelling a surge in spending on the compute as ...

STMicroelectronics has announced a series of AI-enabled and security-enabled industrial and IoT microcontrollers: STM32MP235. The parts have dual Arm Cortex-A35 cores (1.3 or 1.5GHz depending on version), a 400MHz Cortex-M33 and an 0.6Top/s neural network accelerator. On board is a 400MHz VeriSilicon GC8000UL 3D GPU capable of up to 66.5Mtriangle/s or 400Mpixel/s, Open GL ES 3.2.8 or Vulkan 1.2. This ...

One to note: you have a new option for powering your remote Raspberry Pi application with the introduction of the Raspberry Pi PoE+ Injector.

Nexperia is claiming a first for an ESD protection diodes compliant to Open Alliance requirements for 10BASE-T1S automotive Ethernet – a member of the ‘single-pair Ethernet’ family. “The exceptionally low capacitance – 0.4pF – of these diodes means they can also be used to protect higher speed applications deploying 100BASE-T1 or 1000BASE-T1 in-vehicle networks while still maintaining signal integrity,” according ...

The High End Router market is forecast to grow at a 4% CAGR for the next five years to $12.7 billion by 2029, mainly driven by 400 Gbps and 800 Gbps Ethernet port shipments, says Dell’Oro. “There are times when the market contracts when network supply exceeds current needs, like it did last year in 2024,” says Dell’Oro vp Jimmy ...

Microchip has introduced a board that adapts MIPI CSI based cameras to Nvidia’s Holoscan ecosystem – its Jetson AGX Orin and IGX Orin developer kits in particular. The board, called ‘PolarFire FPGA Ethernet sensor bridge’, has two 10Gbit/s SFP+ Ethernet ports that connect to the Nvidia kit and two MIPI CSI-2 receive ports for cameras. An FMC slot provides expansion ...

ADI is aiming at Industrial Ethernet with ADIN6310, a deterministic six-port switch that implements TSN (time sensitive networking) and security. “TSN facilitates a single converged network where both mission-critical real-time and non-real time data co-exist,” according to the company. “Redundancy features allow for fail-over and increased network up-time, while the packet assist engine off-loads the host processor.” The IC has ...

VETH100A1DD1 is a bidirectional ESD protection diode for automotive Ethernet, compliant with OPEN Alliance 100Base-T1 and 1000Base-T1. Made by Vishay, it comes in a wettable flank DFN1006-2B package  measuring 1 x 0.6 x 0.45mm. Working range is ±24V, and clamping is typically at 31V for 1A, “a result of its snap-back technology with a trigger voltage >100V”, said the company. ...

Microchip is aiming at automotive single-pair Ethernet links up to 40m long with a 7 x 7mm transceiver ICs called LAN8870B. Single-pair Ethernet is also being used in avionics, robotics and automation, it said. “For interoperability across industries, LAN887x PHYs are designed to be compliant with IEEE 802.3bp for the 1000BASE-T1 specification, and IEEE 802bw-2015 for the 100BASE-T1 specification*,” according ...

Moxa is aiming at industrial Ethernet with Layer 3 rack-mount switches. There are two types of MRX Series 64 port Layer 3 switches (left in photo): MRX-Q4064 have 16 and up to 48 2.5Gbit/s ports MRX-G4064 have 8 10Gbit/s Ethernet ports and up to 56 Gbit/s ports “Commercial Ethernet switches are seldom tailored for industrial applications,” said Moxa product manager ...
