onsemi Solution for topology discovery with 10BASE-T1S

▤ Summary

onsemi has recently released its first Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) device, the NCN26010, a 10BASE-T1S MAC-PHY transceiver. The NCN26010 can work in a multidrop (point-to-multipoint) topology, as defined by the 802.3cg standards. Physical collisions on cable are avoided thanks to the PLCA (Physical Layer Collision Avoidance) feature, which allows every node, in turn, a dedicated opportunity to transmit data. Multidrop, however, also brings new challenges like assigning addresses, IDs, and roles to identical nodes connected at different locations on the same cable.
