February 26, 2026 /SemiMedia/ — NXP Semiconductors said it has started production of its new 10BASE-T1S PMD transceivers, aimed at helping carmakers and industrial OEMs extend Ethernet to edge devices at lower cost and complexity.

The lineup includes the TJA1410 for automotive use and the TJF1410 for industrial and building automation. The devices split the traditional Ethernet PHY into two parts, allowing the digital section to sit inside the host MCU or switch while the PMD handles the analog signal interface.

NXP said the approach keeps the benefits of Ethernet while delivering a CAN-like level of simplicity for 10Mb deployments. The company sees rising demand as vehicle and industrial systems move toward software-defined designs.

With support for multi-drop Single Pair Ethernet, the new transceivers help reduce cabling and remove the need for extra gateways, enabling more devices to connect directly to a common Ethernet backbone. This is expected to support functions such as AI sensor fusion and over-the-air updates in next-generation vehicles.

For automotive use, the TJA1410 supports applications that require functional safety and meets ISO 26262 ASIL B. It also offers strong EMC performance, low standby current and remote wake capability under Open Alliance TC10 and TC14.

NXP said the device can work with lower-cost CAN FD common-mode chokes, helping reduce total system cost. When paired with the company’s automotive processors and switches — including the S32K5, S32N7 and S32J100 families — the solution enables secure end-to-end Ethernet communication.

In industrial and building automation, the TJF1410 is positioned to replace legacy field buses such as Modbus and RS-485 with multi-drop Ethernet. Used together with NXP’s MCX A microcontrollers, the device forms a complete 10BASE-T1S platform designed to simplify system design and lower BOM cost.

The new transceivers are available now for production use. For more information, please visit nxp.com/TJA1410 and nxp.com/TJF1410.
