Mouser and Marvell enter global disty deal

Mouser Electronics Inc., new product introduction (NPI) distributor, has reached a global distribution agreement with Marvell Semiconductor Inc., provider of storage, processing, networking, security and connectivity semiconductor solutions. Mouser will distribute Marvell industry-leading Fast Ethernet and Alaska Gigabit Ethernet physical layer (PHY) transceivers. 

“Mouser is excited to offer our customers Marvell’s high-performance, low-power PHY transceivers,” says Kristin Schuetter, VP supplier management at Mouser. “Marvell has an exceptional history of delivering next-generation products that continue to revolutionize how customers move data.”

The Marvell Fast Ethernet PHY transceivers offer low power dissipation, small form factor, high performance, and an advanced feature set. The octal Fast Ethernet PHY family, including the 88E3082 and 88E3083 devices, features significantly lower power consumption (under 150 mW per port), enabling network systems manufacturers to decrease system costs by reducing both power supply and fan requirements.

The efficient design of the Marvell Alaska Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) PHY transceivers enables increased density, reduced power, and smaller package size to meet the demands of next-generation green networks. Alaska GbE PHYs include a high level of integration in thermally efficient packages that optimize PCB real estate and enable fan-less and heat sink-less designs.
