MCHPLAN9252I/PT
Overview
The LAN9252I/PT is a highly integrated 2-port EtherCAT Slave Controller (ESC) featuring dual integrated 10/100 Ethernet PHYs that support both copper and fiber media. It serves as a dedicated communication bridge between an EtherCAT master and a local microcontroller via SPI, QSPI, or an 8/16-bit parallel bus interface. The device handles the precise timing and synchronization required for real-time industrial Ethernet protocols.
Why Choose This Part
It simplifies system design by integrating the physical layer (PHY) and a 1.2V regulator, requiring only a single 1.8V to 3.3V supply. The flexible host interface supporting SPI and QSPI allows it to be paired with almost any standard microcontroller, while the 16 GPIO pins provide direct hardware-level control and monitoring.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Development is typically initiated using the EVB-LAN9252-HBI or EVB-LAN9252-SPI evaluation boards. Microchip provides the SDK and configuration tools (EtherCAT Slave Stack Code) to assist in generating the XML files required by EtherCAT masters such as TwinCAT.
