Infineon Announces XWAY PHY11G , the First Gigabit Ethernet PHY IC with EEE Guidelines for Energy Efficiency
The new XWAY™ PHY11G is the first IC compliant with EEE guidelines for energy efficiency, and it is the industry’s smallest footprint IC for Gigabit home networking applications. The new IC targets all major broadband applications, including xDSL and PON Routers in home gateway solutions, IP phones, PC motherboards, and consumer applications like IP-TVs, IP set-top boxes, game consoles and printers. The XWAY PHY11G is the first IC on the market to implement the Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) guidelines, which are based on the upcoming IEEE 802.3az standard. The Infineon PHY reduces its energy use by up to 90 percent (50 mW instead of 500 mW) during periods of idle, when there is no data traffic over the Ethernet link…
