SANTA CLARA, USA: Renesas Electronics Corp. announced the availability of two single-channel Ethernet physical layer (PHY) devices for industrial communication systems (part numbers µPD60610GA-GAM-AX and µPD60611GA-GAM-AX).
The two new PHY chips expand Renesas’ family of PHY devices designed for industrial Ethernet requirements, which includes two dual-channel PHY devices (the µPD60620GA-GAM-AX and the µPD60621GA-GAX-AX).
Recent trends are showing a growing demand among manufacturing companies for intelligent field devices that can capture and transmit information within a factory. This requirement for more efficiency and transparency has accelerated the adoption of industrial Ethernet to interconnect industrial automation systems.
The multiple differences between this environment and PC-based and consumer applications have provided the impetus for the development of new standards based on the IEEE 802.3 standard. Examples of these differences compared to consumer PHY devices include the need for determinism, real-time and diagnostic features, a high level of reliability, and an extended lifecycle.
Renesas prioritized all of these capabilities when developing its new PHY family for industrial automation applications making them ideal for the current demands in automation systems.
