In any modern system, sub-systems – either very close together or spaced apart – must be connected to enable the exchange of data and to provide the necessary co-ordination to achieve the desired system behavior and performance.
Over time, a wide range of wired connectivity technologies and standards have been developed to meet new requirements or use cases such as USB and its new Type-C and Power Delivery specifications in Personal Electronics or IO-Link for factory automation in addition to Ethernet with its global span.
ST offers a broad portfolio of RF transceivers and solutions to help ensure an efficient and fast implementation of a range of wired connectivity technologies.
Ethernet
Fast Ethernet is a cost-effective solution for delivering higher bandwidth connectivity while ensuring full compatibility with existing 10 Mbit/s Ethernet infrastructures. It also provides a high degree of network interoperability as it is a vendor-n
