In addition, the conventional ethernet transformer also has no surge protection function, which often results in the ethernet system not being able to operate effectively in an environment vulnerable to surge interference (e.g. lightning strike, static electricity generation, or power switching with other loads in the circuit), so that the ethernet service has to be interrupted. In view of the above, it is a problem in the art to provide an ethernet transmission circuit capable of being produced in an automated manner and having surge protection capability to replace the conventional ethernet transformer.

Detailed Description
The following examples are provided to illustrate the technical content of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that in the following embodiments and the accompanying drawings, elements irrelevant to the present invention have been omitted and not shown, and the dimensional relationship between the elements in the drawings is only for easy understanding and is not intended to limit the actual scale. As used herein, the terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," "fifth," "sixth," and the like, as applied to certain elements, are intended to distinguish one element from another, and are not intended to limit the sequential relationship between the elements.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of an ethernet transmission circuit of the present invention. Referring to fig. 1, a transmission circuit 1 for ethernet basically comprises four sets of transmission sub-circuits 11, 12, 13, 14 and can be coupled to a signal source of ethernet (e.g., a Physical (PHY) layer device in ethernet). Since signals transmitted in the ethernet network are generally designed to be transmitted through eight wires, eight signals of the eight wires may be equally divided into four differential-mode signal pairs, and the transmission sub-circuits 11, 12, 13, 14 may respectively correspond to one of the four differential-mode signal pairs. The transmission sub-circuits 11, 12, 13, 14 are substantially identical in structure and the respective input and output types are also similar. Therefore, based on the principle of simplifying the description, the transmission sub-circuit 11 is only used as an example for illustration, but those skilled in the art can understand the corresponding structures, functions and parameters/set values applicable to each element in the transmission sub-circuits 12, 13, 14 according to the description of the transmission sub-circuit 11.
The transmit subcircuit 11 may process a set of ethernet signals transmitted between an ethernet Physical (PHY) layer device E1 and an ethernet connector E2. The ethernet connector E2 may be an ethernet connector with an RJ-45 or 8P8C interface. Since the structures of the transmission sub-circuits 12, 13, and 14 and the transmission sub-circuit 11 are substantially the same, a person skilled in the art can understand how the transmission sub-circuit 12, the transmission sub-circuit 13, and the transmission sub-circuit 14 can process the other three sets of ethernet signals between the ethernet physical layer device E1 and the ethernet connector E2 in the same operation manner as the transmission sub-circuit 11 according to the description of the transmission sub-circuit 11, and the same details will not be described herein again.
The transmission sub-circuit 11 may include a coil CL1, a coil CL2, a magnetic core M1, and a transformer T1. Both ends of the coil CL1 may include a connection point P1 and a connection point P2, respectively, and both ends of the coil CL2 may include a connection point P3 and a connection point P4, respectively. Connection point P2 and connection point P3 may be coupled to ethernet connection device E2. The connection point P1 and the connection point P4 may be coupled to a ground G1. Since the connection point P1 and the connection point P4 in the transmission sub-circuit 11 and the corresponding connection points in the transmission sub-circuit 12, the transmission sub-circuit 13 and the transmission sub-circuit 14 are all short circuits with low frequency to ground, if an inrush current is input from the end of the ethernet connection device E2, the energy thereof can be discharged to ground, thereby achieving the effect of protecting the inrush current. In certain embodiments, connection point P1, connection point P2, connection point P3, and connection point P4 may each be implemented as a single pin.
Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a coil winding method in the transmission circuit of the present invention. First, reference is made to fig. 1 and 2 simultaneously. As shown in fig. 2, coil CL1 and coil CL2 are wound around magnetic core M1 together in the same direction (i.e., clockwise or counterclockwise with respect to an axial direction of magnetic core M1).
Transformer T1 may include a coil CL3 and a coil CL4 wound around the same core, and may be of a no center-tap design. The two ends of the coil CL3 may include a connection point P5 and a connection point P6, respectively, and the connection point P5 and the connection point P6 may be coupled to the connection point P2 and the connection point P3, respectively. Both ends of the coil CL4 may be coupled to the ethernet physical layer device E1.
Since the input terminal and the output terminal of the transformer T1 are not directly connected, it can provide the transmission circuit 1 with better dc isolation capability compared to the capacitor-type device, and make the transmission circuit 1 satisfy the 1500 ac volt (Vac) withstand voltage specification defined by the IEEE for the network transformer. In addition, since the transformer T1 may not have a center tap, it may have a process that may be automated as the inductor. In some embodiments, the inductance value of the transformer in each transmit sub-circuit (e.g., transformer T1 in transmit sub-circuit 11) may be between 60 microHenries (uH) and 1 milliHenries (mH).
Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the transmission circuit of the present invention, which is derived from the transmission circuit 1 shown in fig. 1. Referring to fig. 1 and 3, a transmission circuit 2 for ethernet may also include transmission sub-circuits 11, 12, 13, and 14, and the components of each transmission sub-circuit and the connection relationship between each transmission sub-circuit and the ethernet physical layer device E1 and the ethernet connection device E2 may be the same as the transmission circuit 1, with the difference that the transmission circuit 2 may further include a capacitor C1. The connection point P1 and the connection point P4 in the transmission sub-circuit 11 and the connection points corresponding to the connection point P1 and the connection point P4 in the transmission sub-circuits 12, 13, 14 may be coupled to the capacitor C1, and the capacitor C1 may be coupled to the ground terminal G1. In other words, the connection point P1, the connection point P4, and the connection point corresponding to the connection point P2 and the connection point P4 of the transmission sub-circuits 12, 13, 14 are coupled to the ground terminal G1 through the capacitor C1.
The capacitor C1 can provide isolation to ground for the transmission circuit 2 to prevent noise from being transmitted back to the signal line from the ground. In some embodiments, ground G1 may be in the form of a chassis ground (chassis ground). In certain embodiments, the capacitance value of capacitor C1 may be between 1 picofarad (pF) and 100 nanofarads (nF), respectively. In some embodiments, the withstand voltage of the capacitor C1 may be designed to be not lower than 500 direct current volts (Vdc) to maintain the differential mode impedance and reduce the cross talk between channels.
Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the transmission circuit of the present invention, which is derived from the transmission circuit 1 shown in fig. 1. Referring to fig. 1 and 4, a transmission circuit 3 for ethernet may include four transmission sub-circuits 21, 22, 23, 24 and a capacitor C1, and the structure of the transmission sub-circuits 21, 22, 23, 24 is substantially the same and the respective input and output types are similar as in the transmission circuit 1, so that the detailed description is made herein only for the structure of the transmission sub-circuit 21, and those skilled in the art can clearly understand the corresponding structure and connection configuration of the transmission sub-circuits 22, 23, 24 according to the description about the transmission sub-circuit 21.
Like the transmission sub-circuit 11, the transmission sub-circuit 21 may also include a coil CL1, a coil CL2, a magnetic core M1, and a transformer T1. The transmitter sub-circuit 21 is different from the transmitter sub-circuit 11 in that it may further include a coil CL5, a coil CL6, and a magnetic core M2. Coil CL5 may be coupled between connection point P2 of coil CL1 and connection point P5 of coil CL3, and coil CL6 may be coupled between connection point P3 of coil CL2 and connection point P6 of coil CL 3. In other words, in the coil CL3 of the transmission sub-circuit 21, the connection point P5 may be coupled to the connection point P2 via the coil CL5, and the connection point P6 may be coupled to the connection point P3 via the coil CL 6. Coil CL5 and coil CL6 are wound around magnetic core M2 in the same direction.
Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the transmission circuit of the present invention, which is derived from the transmission circuit 2 and the transmission circuit 3 shown in fig. 3 and 4. Referring to fig. 3 and 4, a transmission circuit 4 for ethernet may include transmission sub-circuits 21, 22, 23, and 24 in the transmission circuit 3 in addition to the capacitor C1 in the transmission circuit 2. In other words, the transmission circuit 4 combines the features of the transmission circuit 2 and the transmission circuit 3. By this design, the transmission circuit 4 has both advantages of the transmission circuit 2 and the transmission circuit 3 to provide further common mode filtering protection and impedance matching. Since the detailed structure of the transmission sub-circuits 21, 22, 23, and 24 in the transmission circuit 4 can be known by those skilled in the art according to the description of the transmission circuit 3, the detailed description is omitted.
Similar to the transmission circuit 2, in the transmission circuit 4, the connection point P1 and the connection point P4 in the transmission sub-circuit 21 and the connection points corresponding to the connection point P1 and the connection point P4 in the transmission sub-circuits 22, 23, and 24 can be coupled to the capacitor C1, and the capacitor C1 can be coupled to the ground terminal G1. In other words, the connection point P2, the connection point P4, and the connection point of the transmission sub-circuits 22, 23, and 24 corresponding to the connection point P1 and the connection point P4 are coupled to the ground terminal G1 through the capacitor C1.
In summary, the transmission circuits 1, 2, 3, and 4 for ethernet in the present invention need not be produced by manual wire winding, have a structure capable of automatic production, and provide the functions of signal coupling, dc isolation, surge protection, and the like required for ethernet transmission. Therefore, the ethernet transmission circuit of the present invention is capable of replacing the conventional ethernet transformer and providing a higher environmental adaptability for ethernet transmission.
The above examples are only for illustrating the embodiments of the present invention and illustrating the technical features of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Any modification or equivalent arrangement which can be readily devised by those skilled in the art is intended to be within the scope of the present invention, which is to be determined by the claims.
