Ethernovia Automotive Ethernet Transceiver

Product Overview

The Ethernovia Automotive Ethernet Transceiver is designed to meet the bandwidth and efficiency requirements of next-generation vehicles. Modern automotive networks demand scalable data transport, and Ethernovia delivers with devices supporting 10 Gbps, 5 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, and 1 Gbps Ethernet standards. By consolidating legacy protocols into a unified high-speed Ethernet link, this solution simplifies wiring harnesses, reduces vehicle weight, and supports the transition to zonal architectures.

Features & Innovation

The Ethernovia Automotive Ethernet Transceiver family leverages TSMC’s advanced 7 nm process technology to achieve exceptional power efficiency. OEMs gain a migration path from legacy 1 Gbps systems to multi-gigabit performance without redesigning hardware, as the ENT11025 variant is pin- and software-compatible with earlier ENT1x100 devices. With integrated automotive switching features, PHY layer support, and deterministic reliability, these devices are built for software-defined vehicles requiring robust, high-bandwidth connectivity.

Technical Advantages

At the core of the Ethernovia Automotive Ethernet Transceiver is the ability to scale bandwidth cost-effectively. Supporting IEEE 802.3ch and 802.3bp standards, the transceiver enables a smooth transition from 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps in a single design. The low-power 7 nm process also addresses thermal management challenges in vehicles, allowing designers to rely on standard air cooling rather than complex liquid cooling. Combined with multi-gigabit backward compatibility, Ethernovia provides flexibility for diverse automotive platforms and service needs.

Solution Impact

By integrating the Ethernovia Automotive Ethernet Transceiver, OEMs can streamline network topologies, reduce complexity, and prepare vehicles for data-intensive workloads such as ADAS, infotainment, and over-the-air updates. This technology delivers not only performance but also long-term scalability, supporting the evolution of vehicles into fully software-defined platforms. With sampling already available and quad-port devices on the roadmap, Ethernovia’s Ethernet solutions are positioned to become a backbone for next-generation automotive connectivity.
