Save space without compromising on performance with Halo's GEmini™ and GEmini+™

As devices get smaller, save space without compromising on performance with Halo's GEmini™ and GEmini+™.

The industry's smallest IEEE802.3at compliant PoE and PoE+ Ethernet transformer solutions. The GEmini™ and GEmini+™ reduces the transformer real estate required by up 50%.

Why do you need ethernet magnetics? All Ethernet enabled equipment has to include magnetics as the Ethernet specification for 10/100/1000BASE-T networks requires a certain level of galvanic isolation from the cable. Transformers provide common mode rejection which is useful for noise attenuation between the PHY device (transceiver IC) and the physical medium (cable). One option for Ethernet magnetics that is widely used is to add an Ethernet magnetic module to your design's PCB, between the PHY chip and the connector jack.

How do you choose? The Ethernet standard indicates the properties magnetics need to have. After that, look for a discrete magnetic module's common mode rejection figures as well as the insertion loss at different frequencies. Checking the literature for the PHY chip in your design will often reveal the manufacturer's recommendations based on specific modules they have tested alongside their own chip.

How can HALO help?

The GEmini™ and GEmini+™ series are UL60950, EN60950 and DEMKO recognized for SELV to TNV-1 applications and meet the requirements of IEEE802.3 for 10/100 and Gigabit.

This series is available in both commercial and industrial temperature ranges and is designed for traditional Gigabit Ethernet or Gigabit with Power Over Ethernet (POE) applications. As well, the dual nature of the GEmini(tm) series enables it to be used in high density dual port 10/100 Ethernet or dual port 10/100 with POE applications providing a significant reduction in real estate while reducing the component count.

GEmini+™

This device is designed to meet the DC bias requirements of IEEE802.3at for both commercial and industrial temperature ranges. The dual personality of the GEmini+™ enables this to be used in high density dual port 10/100 or single port Gigabit POE+ Ethernet applications.

The GEmini+™ is the perfect solution for high-power, small appliances such as cameras and wireless base stations and any other real estate sensitive applications.
