DP83TC817 is a 100BASE-T1 Ethernet PHY with TC-10 power saving feature with the following features.

• Open Alliance TC10 compliant
• Sleep request feature to shut down Ethernet network to save power
• 8µA (Typical, 27 °C), 20μA (Maximum, 125 °C) sleep current
• Wake forwarding feature for Ethernet network wake-up
• Fast Wake-up

This block diagram shows an example of how TC10 can be implemented in an automotive system. First, the wake up request originates over active link and then the wake up pulse is forwarded over passive link. The wake up request and pulses are exchanged over the Ethernet cable without needing dedicated wake up wire.
