TI Korea (CEO Kent Chon, www.ti.com/ww/kr ) July 3, 2013 – TI (CEO Kent Chon) has launched a new family of fully integrated IO-LINK PHY (physical) layer devices that provide flexibility beyond discrete implementations. The SN65HVD101 and SN65HVD102 offer higher output current and superior operating temperature characteristics compared to competitors, making them suitable for point-to-point (P2P) communication applications such as pressure, level, temperature, or flow IO-LINK sensors, IO-LINK actuator drives, and valves in harsh industrial applications.

Key Features and Advantages of SN65HVD101 and SN65HVD102

· Fully integrated solution: The IO-LINK PHY device integrates a voltage regulator capable of supplying up to 20mA to local circuits, allowing for up to 50% reduction in board space compared to discrete implementations, and enabling the use of existing 3.3V or 5V controllers.

· Supports crosstalk prevention function: The SN65HVD101 and SN65HVD102 integrate a maximum 40V, normal state protection function to prevent damage caused by faulty installation or cable disconnection. Since it provides a maximum 50V transient protection function that prevents damage caused by power surges of the field voltage, a separate protection device is not required.

· Maximum operating temperature characteristics: These products are the only IO-LINK PHY devices to support an operating temperature range of -40C to 105C, making them ideal for harsh industrial applications.

· Maximum Output Current Range: While competing products support output currents of up to 300mA, these ICs drive up to 480mA, providing interoperability with various sensors and small actuators. Additionally, since the output current can be set with a single resistor, it offers an automatic limiting function for safe operation in relatively low-power applications.

Solutions utilizing IO-LINK require an MCU with a standard slave device configuration. TI's ultra-low-power MSP430™ MCU provides perfect performance for point-to-point (P2P) communication and low-power operation. The MSP430 MCU has up to 512KB of flash memory and an integrated analog-to-digital (ADC) to support fast processing from various types of sensors.

Tools and Support

The SN65HVD101EVM can be used to evaluate device parameters and as a board layout guide, and is sold for $79.

Technical support is also available through the Industrial Interface Forum of the TI E2E™ community, where expert engineers share questions and answers.

Supply timing, package, price

The SN65HVD101 and SN65HVD102 are available in a 4mm x 3.5mm 20-pin VQFN package. Based on a quantity of 1,000, the price per unit starts at $2.23.
