BroadR-Reach Development Kit With Hardware TCP/IP Protocol Stack

Posted by Industry News on

MikroElektronika BROADR-REACH CLICK

The BroadR-Reach Click by Mikro Elektronika brings the industry-grade communication standard to the mikroBUS™, which is suitable for use in an Ethernet-based open network. The click board utilizes the BCM54811 Transceiver from Broadcom Limited that provides the hardware PHY layer for the Ethernet network. 

The W3150A+ chip from WizNet, a hardware LSI protocol stack, presents an easy and low-cost solution for high-speed Internet connectivity for digital devices by enabling easy installation of the TCP/IP stack in the hardware.

The BroadR-Reach® point-to-point Ethernet PHY technology was developed by Broadcom Limited. The BroadR-Reach® technology represents a robust Ethernet physical layer interface, designed for use in noisy environments and harsh conditions, such as in industrial or automotive networking applications. 

The technology enables various systems to concurrently access information over the unshielded single twisted pair cable, reducing connectivity costs and cabling weight. As such, it offers a comprehensive alternative to older and limited standards used so far and supports increased data rates over existing cable networks.
