TEXAS Instruments has introduced a new range of industrial Gigabit Ethernet physical layers (PHYs) boasting the industry’s lowest latency and highest electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Meeting stringent EMI/EMC specifications, the new DP83867 family of PHYs enable real-time “Industry 4.0” applications. They are also built to maximise design flexibility for rugged industrial applications.
With the family of six devices, engineers can bring bring real-time industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) capabilities to rugged factory automation systems, motor drives, and test and measurement equipment.
The devices meet electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards, reduces power consumption, and offers designers flexibility with multiple temperature, media access control (MAC) interface and packaging options.
Key features and benefits include:
Latency less than 400ns at 1000Mbps and 100Mbps – 50 percent better than the competition. This reduces controller cycle times, improving real-time performance of standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet connections in industrial systems.
Industry’s highest ESD protection, exceeding 8kV to surpass IEC 61000-4-2 standards. High ESD protection reduces the failure rate of Industry 4.0 systems by shielding against high-voltage faults.
EMI mitigation: The DP83867 exceeds stringent standards for EMI/EMC from IEC, CISPR, and European Standards. By exceeding the EN55011/CISPR11 Class B-level testing standards, the DP83867 gives designers more design headroom so that they can go to production faster.
Additional energy savings when the system is in standby state, thanks to wake-on-local area network (LAN) (WoL) and power-down modes. In addition, the DP38367 offers active power consumption of less than 460 mW, which is at least 30 percent lower than the competition.
The extended temperature range of the DP38367 family enables designers to adapt one design for multiple temperature environments, from commercial to extended industrial temperatures.
