Versatile Whitebox 1G Ethernet PHY IP Core with BroadR-Reach™ for Connected Automotive and Industrial Systems

May. 19, 2025 – 

May 19, 2025 - T2M-IP proudly announces the availability of its Whitebox 1G Ethernet PHY IP core, a production-proven solution delivering unmatched customization, flexibility, and performance for automotive, industrial, and embedded Ethernet applications. Designed to support long-term integration and innovation, this cutting-edge PHY IP empowers customers with unlimited usage and full source-level modification rights under a highly permissive Whitebox license model.

Built on mature, high-volume production technology and compliant with IEEE 802.3-2008, IEEE 802.3az (EEE), and IEEE 1588-2008, this Gigabit Ethernet PHY is ideal for companies seeking full control over their Ethernet IP stack—whether optimizing for power, cost, or advanced system integration.

Key Highlights:

  • Whitebox Licensing Model
    Unlimited usage with full RTL access and modification rights — ideal for companies seeking long-term control and customization of their IP portfolio.
  • Multi-Node Portability
    Designed in bulk 28nm process, the PHY is easily portable across multiple process nodes, ensuring broad compatibility and futureproofing across silicon generations.
  • Automotive-Ready with BroadR-Reach™
    Integrated BroadR-Reach™ technology delivers robust, high-speed communication over single twisted-pair cables, optimized for next-generation Automotive Ethernet networks.
  • Flexible Interface Support
    Dual-port MAC interface supporting GMII (10/100/1000BASE-T) and MII (10/100BASE-T) for versatile SoC integration.
  • Comprehensive Protocol Support
    Supports 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 10BASE-T, in both full and half-duplex modes, with advanced features like Auto-MDIX and skew correction.
  • Energy Efficiency
    Built-in Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) support and power-down modes make this PHY ideal for low-power and green designs.
  • Time-Sensitive Networking Ready
    Supports IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) for synchronization in industrial and automotive TSN (Time-Sensitive Networking) environments.

Proven in silicon and already licensed by multiple tier-one customers in the United States, Korea, China, and Europe, this 1G Ethernet PHY IP is quickly becoming the preferred choice for companies seeking a scalable, modifiable, and future-proof Ethernet IP solution.

T2M-IP has a wide and diverse silicon Interface IP Core Portfolio, including USB, PCIe, HDMI, Display Port, MIPI, DDR, V-by-One, programmable SerDes, SD/eMMCs, and many more Controllers with matching PHYs, available in major Fabs in process nodes as small as 7nm. On request, they can also be ported to other foundries and cutting-edge process nodes.
