Aeonsemi Unveils Second-Generation ChronoPHY™ 10GBASE-T PHY for Deterministic AI Edge Infrastructure

New AS22010 10GBASE-T PHY cuts power by 40% while improving cable reach, interference immunity, and network synchronization — enabling deterministic low-latency Ethernet connectivity for Wi-Fi 7 and Wi-Fi 8 access points, XGS-PON CPE, multi-gigabit enterprise edge, and modern AI infrastructure. SANTA CLARA, Calif. - May 27, 2026 - Aeonsemi (www.aeonsemi.com), an innovator of mixed-signal and DSP connectivity ICs, today announced production shipments of AS22010, the second generation of its ChronoPHY™ multi-rate 10GBASE-T Ethernet transceiver family. The AS22010 reduces typical per-port power by 40% compared to the previous generation while simultaneously improving link stability, electromagnetic interference (EMI) immunity, and synchronization accuracy to support ITU-T G.8273.2 Class D timing performance. ChronoPHY™ is Aeonsemi’s Ethernet PHY architecture optimized for low-jitter and low-latency operation in time-sensitive networking applications such as wireless infrastructure, AI edge, industrial automation, and real-time Ethernet systems. “AI is pushing high-speed Ethernet from the data center to the edge, where energy efficiency and deterministic timing are becoming increasingly critical,” said Yunteng Huang, CEO of Aeonsemi. “The AS22010 extends ChronoPHY™ leadership by delivering more precise synchronization, more robust connectivity, and a significantly smaller thermal footprint.” Physical AI systems — including robots, machine vision platforms, and AI-enabled industrial automation infrastructure — increasingly require deterministic, low-latency, energy-efficient, high-speed Ethernet connectivity at the network edge. Built on the massive worldwide installed base of copper Ethernet infrastructure, multi-gigabit Ethernet adoption continues to accelerate due to its ease of deployment, high reliability, backward compatibility, and lower infrastructure upgrade costs. Field-Proven ChronoPHY™ Architecture, Now with Lower Power and Enhanced Timing The first-generation ChronoPHY™ established Aeonsemi as a leader in multi-rate copper Ethernet with long cable reach, robust noise immunity, and superior latency stability. The AS22010 further advances those capabilities with: • 40% lower typical power at 10G/100 m compared with first-generation ChronoPHY™, enabling fanless Wi-Fi APs, quieter NAS enclosures, and higher-density multi-gigabit switches • Enhanced Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) operation across all supported rates, with faster wake and recovery behavior optimized for bursty AI and edge-network traffic patterns • Enhanced SyncE + PTP timing functions, including an on-chip SyncE PLL to simplify system design in SyncE applications (AS22010J) Purpose-Built for the Copper Edge of AI Infrastructure Wi-Fi 7 access points require multi-gigabit backhaul to deliver their tri-band aggregate throughput, and Wi-Fi 8 will further increase backhaul bandwidth requirements. NAS platforms running local inference, multi-gigabit switches, and AV-over-IP systems are converging on the same 10GBASE-T port. At the same time, AI-enabled edge infrastructure increasingly depends on deterministic timing, lower power consumption, and always-on connectivity.

Aeonsemi Unveils Nemo™ Platform: Revolutionizing In-Vehicle Networking with Multi-Gigabit Ethernet

Santa Clara, CA and Nanjing, China, May 8, 2024 – (BUSINESS WIRE) – Aeonsemi, a leader in high-speed Ethernet ICs, is entering the automotive market with the introduction of Nemo™, industry’s most complete IEEE 802.3ch compliant multi-Gigabit Ethernet chipset for In-Vehicle Networking (IVN) applications. Nemo™ features the world’s first automotive switch with integrated 10GBASE-T1 PHYs and the industry’s lowest power 10GBASE-T1 PHYs for symmetric and asymmetric communications. Providing end-to-end solutions, the chipset comprises a CSI-2 serializer bridge, a CSI-2 deserializer hub, a single/dual-port PHY, and a 6-port zonal switch. Ethernet has emerged as the technology of choice in automotive networking. It enables zonal Electrical/Electronic (E/E) architecture leading to significant performance improvements, wiring harness weight reduction and cost savings. However, high-speed sensor links have remained separate from the Ethernet IVN. They rely on proprietary point-to-point SerDes technology due to the lack of high-speed, low-power, cost-effective asymmetrical Ethernet solutions. The Nemo™ chipset bridges this gap by offering the industry’s lowest power 10G/5G/2.5G symmetric and asymmetric connectivity in Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) mode over 15 meters of single-twisted-pair or coaxial cable. The AS30110 serializer consumes less than 300mW with a 10Gbps payload and less than 200mW with a 5Gbps payload. The AS30010/20 single/dual-port PHYs consume under 800mW power per port in symmetric 10Gbps mode. “With the increased adoption of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Full Self-Driving (FSD), the market for sensors, including cameras, radar, and LiDAR, is expected to grow at a 14% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) to $27 billion by 2028”, explains Pierrick Boulay, Senior Technology & Market Analyst, Automotive Semiconductors at Yole Group. Ethernet-based sensors can significantly reduce automotive sensing system cost as more sensors are added to each vehicle. OEMs and Tier1s seek sensor link solutions that are based on an open standard such as IEEE 802.3ch, with an interoperable multi-vendor ecosystem. "Contrary to the misconception that Ethernet PHYs are not power-efficient for asymmetric sensor links, our Ethernet camera solution is the lowest power among all available serializers at comparable speeds. It comes in a compact 5mm x 5mm package and supports referenceless operation to further reduce the Bill of Materials (BOM) cost," stated Yunteng Huang, CEO of Aeonsemi. "The Nemo™ chipset marks a significant milestone in IVN evolution. By enabling seamless end-to-end integration of automotive sensors into a unified Ethernet network, we streamline the software and hardware of the ‘datacenter on wheels’ for tomorrow’s intelligent vehicles." Key Features of the Nemo™ Chipset: • AS30110: CSI-2 serializer bridge with industry’s lowest power of under 300mW at 10Gbps. It supports Power over Coaxial (PoC) with 50% BOM reduction. • AS30240: Quad-port aggregation deserializer hub with built-in Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) functions. • AS30010/20: Single/dual-port 10GBASE-T1 PHY with under 800mW power consumption per port in 10Gbps full duplex symmetrical mode. • AS30340: 6-port Ethernet switch for zonal aggregation. It comes with 4 integrated MGBASE-T1 PHYs and has 40Gbps switching bandwidth. Designed on TSMC’s automotive process node, the Nemo™ chipset is AEC-Q100 grade 2 and ISO26262 ASIL-B compliant. Evaluation kits and samples are available to selected customers, and an end-to-end live demo will be showcased at AutoSens in Detroit, May 21-23.
