# AXONNE

> AXONNE is a fabless Silicon Valley semiconductor company building high-speed Automotive Ethernet connectivity for the software-defined, AI-defined vehicle. Founded by ex-Marvell engineering leaders, it designs PHY transceivers and bridge chips - led by its Cyton PHY implementing IEEE 802.3ch Multi-Gigabit Automotive Ethernet - that move 1Gbps to 10Gbps over a single twisted pair or coax, wiring cameras, radar and lidar into the compute clusters that drive ADAS and autonomous systems.

- **Founded:** 2017
- **Headquarters:** San Jose, California, United States
- **Founders:** Gani Jusuf (CEO & Co-Founder), William Lo (Co-Founder)
- **Team size:** ~30 employees across North America and Europe
- **Products:** Cyton PHY Transceiver, Automotive Ethernet Bridge, Multi-Gigabit Camera Development Module
- **Notable:** Founding team first brought Automotive 1000BASE-T1 Ethernet to market., Demonstrated the world's first multi-gigabit Automotive Ethernet camera development module at DesignCon 2023., Cyton PHY implements full IEEE 802.3ch Multi-Gigabit Automotive Ethernet (up to 10Gbps).

## Products & services

- **Cyton PHY Transceiver** — Automotive Ethernet PHY transceiver compliant with IEEE 802.3ch, delivering 1Gbps to 10Gbps over a single unshielded twisted pair or coax cable, supporting 1000BASE-T1 and 2.5G/5G/10GBASE-T1 for scalable zonal architectures.
- **Automotive Ethernet Bridge** — Bridge silicon that maps MIPI CSI-2 sensor data directly to multi-gigabit Ethernet using IEEE 1722, connecting cameras, radar and lidar into in-vehicle networks with PTP timing for ADAS and autonomous inference.
- **Multi-Gigabit Camera Development Module** — Reference platform co-developed with Leopard Imaging and Amphenol, demonstrated as the world's first multi-gigabit Automotive Ethernet camera module, powered by the Cyton PHY.
