Microchip Introduces LAN9662, New Gigabit Ethernet Switch for Industrial Automation

【Lansheng Technology Information】In order to provide comprehensive network solutions to automation manufacturers, Microchip Technology Inc. today announced the launch of the LAN9662 Gigabit Ethernet switch. The switch features four ports, audio-video bridging and time-sensitive networking (AVB/TSN), two integrated 10/100/1000BASE-T PHYs, and a 600 MHz Arm® Cortex®-A7 CPU subsystem.

To support Industrial Ethernet applications, the LAN9662 features a Real-Time Engine (RTE) capable of modifying Ethernet frames on the fly, enabling faster cyclic data rates and lower latency. LAN9662 complies with key industry standards such as OPC Unified Architecture (OPC/UA) and PROFINET software protocol stack, providing the deterministic communication functions required by industrial network applications.

"The LAN9662 is an extension to the LAN966x family that provides a viable solution for scaling TSN-enabled network endpoints," said Charles Forni, vice president of Microchip's USB and Networking business unit. "Our solution provides customers with a comprehensive software portfolio that enables Customers can initiate designs in compliance with industry standards.

The AN9662 has two integrated PHYs that provide very low latency and support various daisy-chain topologies. The PHY interface can quickly process data within a specified time, providing a reliable network for automation applications such as motors, conveyor belts, and multi-axis robot controllers.

Microchip is an established supplier of industrial-grade networking solutions, offering a broad portfolio of ruggedized, power-efficient and highly integrated products featuring deterministic switching and fault-tolerant redundancy.
