#Microchip_Technology_Inc. launches next-gen Optical Ethernet PHY transceivers with integrated IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) and MACsec encryption, delivering secure, deterministic connectivity over long reaches up to 10 km on single-mode fiber. Designed for smart factories, remote monitoring, and industrial automation, these transceivers support speeds up to 25 Gbps with sub-nanosecond synchronization accuracy.“Design engineers are looking for solutions that simplify complex networking systems, adding PTP or MACsec could mean a complete overhaul of an existing design, our solution helps preserve our customers’ core-processing investment,” said Charles Forni, corporate vice president of Microchip’s networking and connectivity solutions business. “We’ve integrated these capabilities into our transceivers, enabling bolt-on functionality to help engineers build smarter, more secure and scalable networks.”

Microchip Technology Inc. has introduced next-generation optical Ethernet PHYs that combine PTP sub-nanosecond time synchronization and MACsec encryption, enabling secure, low-latency connectivity across long-reach networks.
