onsemi's NCN26010 is a highly versatile Ethernet controller designed for industrial multi-drop Ethernet applications. It is an IEEE 802.3CG compliant Ethernet transceiver that integrates a media access controller (MAC), a PLCA reconciliation sublayer (RS), and a 10BASE-T1S PHY, providing a comprehensive solution for transmitting and receiving data over a single unshielded twisted pair.
The NCN26010 offers a range of features that make it the ideal choice for industrial applications. It communicates with host MCUs via the open alliance MACPHY SPI protocol, allowing for easy integration into existing systems. It also supports a variety of diagnostic features, including link quality monitoring, cable diagnostic testing, and error reporting.
In addition to its excellent functional capabilities, the NCN26010 is designed for robustness and reliability in harsh industrial environments. It offers ESD protection up to ±8 kV contact discharge and ±15 kV air discharge, as well as immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI). It is also capable of operating in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +105°C, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
The NCN26010 is a highly integrated device that requires only a few external components for operation, simplifying the design process and reducing overall system cost. Its compact QFN-32 package further enhances its suitability for space-constrained industrial applications.
In summary, onsemi's NCN26010 Ethernet controller is an IEEE 802.3CG compliant Ethernet transceiver that provides a comprehensive solution for industrial multi-drop Ethernet applications. With features such as a MAC, RS, and 10BASE-T1S PHY, robustness and reliability in harsh environments, diagnostic capabilities, and easy integration with host MCUs, it offers the ideal solution for transmitting and receiving data over a single unshielded twisted pair.
