Reference Designs

GB-Ethernet Front End

  • Based on Microchip's EVB-LAN7800LC evaluation board.
  • Circuit built on a 4-layer PCB.
  • Powered via the USB interface.
  • Firmware enables real-time measurements of data rate and bit error rate.
  • The electronics board offers two interfaces:
    • USB Type C™ (USB 3.1)
    • 1 Gigabit RJ45/Ethernet interface

GB PoE+ Ethernet-USB Adapter

GB PoE+ Ethernet-USB Adapter

  • Based on the reference design of a 1 Gbit/s Ethernet USB adapter.
  • Original design lacked PoE functionality.
  • PoE+ functionality added to the design.
  • Incorporates Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) capability.
  • GB PoE+ Ethernet USB Adapter offers three interfaces:
    • USB Type-C (USB 3.1)
    • RJ45 1 Gbit/s Ethernet interface with integrated PoE function
    • Connector for a DC/DC converter with an adjustable output voltage of 6 to 18 V and a maximum output power of 25 W.

Basics of GB-Ethernet interface

Basics of GB-Ethernet interface

  • Magnetics module (E.g., WE-LAN): This consists of a transformer and common mode choke (CMC). It reduces common-mode currents, which are unwanted electrical currents that flow in the same direction on both conductors of a twisted-pair cable. Common-mode currents can interfere with the differential signal carrying the data.
  • Bob Smith termination: This termination circuit, which includes a capacitor and four resistors, is connected between the differential signal pairs and ground. It reduces susceptibility to interference from unused wires on the RJ45 connector by providing a path for common-mode currents to flow to ground.

Design structure of GB-Ethernet interface

Design structure of GB-Ethernet interface

The GB-Ethernet USB adapter was developed based on the EVBLAN7800LC Evaluation Board from Microchip. The board is available in two different variants: discrete and integrated. The integrated design combines the functionality of the discrete components into fewer, more streamlined modules. This integration results in a potentially more reliable design, reducing PCB space and simplifying assembly.

Circuit, powered device and powered source
  • PSE (Power Source Equipment): This is the device that supplies power over the Ethernet cable. In a PoE system, a switch or injector acts as the PSE.
  • PD (Powered Device): This is the device that receives power and data over the Ethernet cable. Examples of PoE-powered devices include IP cameras, VoIP phones and wireless access points.
