TI Brings Ethernet Connectivity to Its Wired and Wireless Communication MCU Platforms

Google 우선 소스Published2017.11.29 10:27

Grid infrastructure and industrial automation gateways can accelerate time to market.

TI has introduced Ethernet connectivity to its single SimpleLink microcontroller (MCU) platform, a suite of hardware, software and tool options for wired and wireless communication MCUs that allows developers to more easily connect sensors from gateways to the cloud.

The new SimpleLink MSP432 Ethernet MCUs are based on a high-performance 120MHz ARM Cortex-M4F core with integrated MAC and PHY, helping to accelerate time to market for grid infrastructure and industrial automation gateway applications.

The SimpleLink MSP432 Ethernet MCU integrates an Ethernet MAC, PHY, USB, and CAN, saving developers time and simplifying board layout. Wireless connectivity technologies such as Sub-1 GHz, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth can be combined with wired communications via built-in serial interfaces, enabling end nodes to connect to the cloud.

By offering the industry's broadest portfolio of ARM MCUs for wired and wireless communications, developers can easily design a wide range of end nodes and intelligent gateways in areas such as grid, factory automation, and building automation using the same software code.

Developers can build wireless sensor networks by creating sensor nodes using SimpleLink wireless MCUs and connecting those secure sensor nodes to a gateway. Based on the SimpleLink Ethernet MSP432E4 MCU, this gateway acts as a central management console, processing and aggregating data and even transmitting it to the cloud for further analysis, visualization, and storage. Companies developing this type of gateway can leverage existing wired infrastructure while also adding the latest wireless connectivity technologies.

For example, in an HVAC (air conditioning, ventilation, and air conditioning) system, a network of air quality sensors and wired dampers can be created using SimpleLink MCUs such as the Sub-1GHz CC1310 wireless MCU and the MSP432P4 host MCU, which are then connected to an Ethernet-enabled HVAC system controller and sent to the cloud.
