To support industrial Ethernet applications, the LAN9662 incorporates a Real-Time Engine (RTE) that enables on-the-fly modification of the Ethernet frame, resulting in faster cyclic data rates and lower latency. The LAN9662 supports leading industry standards, including the OPC Unified Architecture (OPC/UA) and the PROFINET software stack, and provides the deterministic communication capabilities required for industrial networking applications.
"Expanding the LAN966x family, the LAN9662 opens a path to scaling with TSN-enabled network endpoints," said Charles Forni, vice president of Microchip's USB and Networking business unit. "Our solutions give customers the advantage of starting their designs in compliance with industry standards, supported by a comprehensive software portfolio."
With two integrated PHYs, the LAN9662 provides extremely low latency to support various daisy-chain topologies. The PHY interfaces enable fast data processing within a specified time, providing a reliable network for automation applications such as motor controllers, conveyor belts, and multi-axis robots.
The LAN9662 supports up to two RGMII/RMII interfaces, up to two 1000BASE-X/SerDes/2.5GBASE-X/KX interfaces, and one Quad-SGMII/Quad-USGMII interface. The configurable interfaces allow designers to achieve the various physical layers or interconnections they may require.
Microchip is a well-established provider of industrial-grade networking solutions, offering a broad portfolio of robust, energy-efficient, and highly integrated products with deterministic switching and fault-tolerant redundancy. Its products significantly reduce the complexity and overall costs of Ethernet deployment in a variety of industrial applications.
