Your ability to connect more higher-power devices to your Ethernet LAN just got better. Last year, the IEEE’s 802.3bt standard was approved, significantly boosting the power available to connected devices. Now, new products are emerging to take advantage of this improved resource. If you’re working on products for Ethernet connection, ON Semiconductor offers some new devices that can facilitate your job.
