Chandler, Arizona. Microchips’s radiant tolerant (RT) Ethernet PHY family has a new member in its VSC8574RT PHY, an optional approach when modifying traditional connectivity interfaces to more efficient Ethernet solutions. For a simple substitution for a deployment ready RT device, the VCS8574RT PHY utilizes Microchip’s Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) based device. Bob Vampola, Vice President of Microchip’s Aerospace and Defense Business Unit said, “Ethernet solutions are in high demand for space applications, and our COTS-to-RT devices offer increased capabilities with multiport, SGMII and fiber interfaces.”

Chandler, Arizona. Microchip released two reclocker/redriver devices supporting long-distance reliable USB transmissions up to 15 meters and compatible with USB 3.2 Generation 1 SuperSpeed protocol. The automotive EQCO510 and industrial EQCO5X31 reclocker/redriver devices transmits data signals at 5 Gbps in both directions.

PoE switches designed for outdoor use in smart buildings and cities enable services ranging from public Wi-Fi and video surveillance to connected streetlights that increasingly need better reliability and cybersecurity protection. Extending the industry’s family of PoE switches with the high industry-standard outdoor protection for these applications, Microchip Technology has developed the PDS-204GCO switch that adds increased cyber protection plus the redundancy required for high network availability in mission-critical applications with long-distance connectivity. It also complies with the high outdoor industry-standards.

Here we go again; 8-bit MCUs are not dead yet. I said a few years ago that I’d give this argument up, and simply wait for the official announcement, but apparently, I shouldn’t hold my breath.

CHANDLER, Arizona —  Microchip Technology announced new industrial-grade single pair ethernet (SPE) products. The 10BASE-T1S MAC-PHYs are designed to connect edge IIoT devices to the cloud, and industrial versions of its 100BASE-T1 Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) Ethernet PHY transceivers and switches are designed for high-speed applications across wide Ethernet networks.

A must see at embedded world 2023 is our friends and neighbors at Microchip. Visit hall 3 booth 443 to explore its latest demos under the themes of sustainability, security, and functional safety.

Microchip’s new LAN8650 and LAN8651 10BASE-T1S MAC-PHY Ethernet Controllers with SPI Interface simplify the implementation of zonal architectures by enabling basic MCUs, rather than higher-level MCUs with a MAC, to be used when creating sensors, actuators, and other devices for the edge of OT and IT networks.
