EtherCAT® Chipset for Industrial Applications

EtherCAT is an open Ethernet network that delivers real-time performance with flexible topologies to enhance cycle times and improve quality. Features such as diagnostics, compatibility between product generations and a fully assured software release schedule reduce design risk to enable the shortest time to market.

Our EtherCAT product portfolio includes PHY devices, controllers and fully integrated microcontrollers (MCUs) that support both EtherCAT and Ethernet technologies. They include refinements such as ESI EEPROM emulation and clock daisy-chaining.
