  • Data rate performance flexibility
    Maximum PHY data transfer rates can reach 9.8 Mbps via HPGP (QPSK) and 200 Mbps via HPAV (16, 64, and 1024 QAM)
  • New Ethernet interface option
    RED Beet 2.0 has been improved with a new high-speed Ethernet transceiver that supports both full- and half-duplex connections and Auto MDI/MDIX
  • Upgraded HomePlug GreenPhy
    The Qualcomm QCA7006AQ chip supports HomePlug GreenPHY v.3.3 firmware for updated functionality
  • AEC-Q100 automotive qualification
    The AEC-Q100 automotive qualification means that your RED Beet 2.0 is certified for use as a high-end automotive component
  • Expanded industrial temperature range
    An increased maximum operating board temperature of +105º C ensures even greater suitability and reliability for automotive applications
  • Tiny form factor
    RED Beet’s surface-mount format and 23.3 x 23.3 x 3.2 mm dimensions make it easy to integrate, while its castellated pins on the edges enable AOI, improve mechanical stability, and simplify optical inspection and testing
