TSN SMC 1G 

Automotive Ethernet Physical Layer Converter with Auto-Negotiation Algorithms

 

The TSN Media Converter (MC) is a highly flexible tool for use in multiple environments like the lab, car or HiL.

Simple, small and flexible, it seamlessly converts 1000BASE-T and 1000BASE-T1 connections, and is also 100Mbps capable. No packets are buffered or filtered and can be seen as a transparent link. For convenience, all settings are intuitively hardware adjustable without a tethered configuration PC.

T1 port speeds and master/slave settings can be manually forced with switches, or for convenience use a novel auto-negotiation method that does not rely on vendor-proprietary methods but compatible with all T1 PHYs on the market.

In Auto mode, the T1 link will automatically negotiate with its link partner without the user having to investigate the settings or use trial and error. This has been found to be a massive time-saver for use in complex and distributed systems.

Firmware can be updated using a provided USB connection, as well as terminal access for more detailed inspection.

 

Core features include:

  • 1 x IEEE 100/1000BASE-T1 port
  • 1 x IEEE 100/1000BASE-T port
  • 1 x Micro-USB connector for firmware updates & terminal access
  • Fully TSN compliant
  • Instant startup for in-vehicle use 
  • Small dimensions, full metal case for environmental and EMC protection
  • Status LEDs indicates mode, speed and link status
