Infineon puts EtherCAT on Arm microcontroller
by david manners - Electronic weekly, Apr. 15, 2015 –
In August Infineon will sample Arm-based microcontrollers with on-chip EtherCAT (Ethernet for control automation technology). Called the XMC4800 series the 32-bit controllers will address networked industrial automation and Industry 4.0 applications.
Volume production is scheduled for Q1 2016.
Infineon has integrated EtherCAT onto an Arm Cortex-M-based microcontroller with on-chip flash and analogue/mixed signal capability.
It says the XMC4800 series will comprise at least 18 members varying in memory capacity, temperature range and packaging. All will be AEC Q100 qualified, making them also suited for use in commercial, construction and agricultural vehicles.
