The ADIN2299 is a highly integrated and tested solution that includes a communications controller, a two-port 10/100Mbps Ethernet switch, memory, a physical layer (PHY), and protocol stacks. The ADIN2299's hardware, along with its software and pre-certified industry protocols, reduces system integration time and enables a rapid time to market.
The ADIN2299 reduces design and debugging time by providing not only the protocol stack but also the RTOS, file system, drivers, and TCP/IP. An application processor can connect to the switching platform via a UART, SPI, or Ethernet interface. The ADIN2299 software enables the application processor to connect to a unified interface, allowing the use of various industry protocols without requiring any changes to the application processor software.
This eliminates the learning curve associated with incorporating additional protocols. Customers can now leverage a single field device hardware design to support multiple industrial protocols. Another critical element of the ADIN2299 is cybersecurity. It features a secure boot and update function that ensures only verified code is executed, reducing potential field disruptions caused by cyberattacks.
An ADIN2299 evaluation kit is available for platform assessment and system development. An application example is provided to demonstrate end-to-end, host-to-network, and interface-to-controller communication. Once an application development board is connected to the ADIN2299 evaluation board via UART, SPI, or Ethernet, protocol communication can be evaluated using a PLC or controller simulator. This allows for thorough verification before integrating the ADIN2299 into a system.
