Exclusive | Bcm89890

For automated braking or steering, data must arrive deterministically. The BCM89890 provides precise hardware timestamping conforming to the standards. This allows all distributed Electronic Control Units (ECUs) across the automotive architecture to maintain clock synchronization within nanosecond tolerances. 4. Robust Signal Integrity & Low Power (TC10)

: Built-in PHY-level timestamping supporting IEEE 1588 and IEEE 802.1AS profiles. bcm89890
