IO-Link transceiver has integrated oscillator
Orca Semiconductor has announced its second product an IO-Link communications transceiver for industrial applications. The part is numbered OS2000.
The OS2000 can be used in either IO-Link master or device applications and features two control interface options: I2C or GPIO (general input output). The I2C mode allows control over advanced features and diagnostics not available in GPIO mode.
It includes two LDO linear voltage regulators, one digital input channel, an internal clock generator, and integrated surge protection for input power, CQ, and the digital input channel.
The linear 5V voltage regulators may be bypassed if an external 5V source is available. The internal clock generator may be used to provide an IO-Link timing-compliant clock to the system microcontroller, simplifying designs. It features five different output frequency options allowing it to work with most microcontrollers. OS2000 is designed to be footprint- and function-compatible with the MAX22515 from Analog Devices.
The device takes input voltage from 8V to 36V and provides an optional oscillator output for microcontroller clock. It is designed to operation over the extended industrial temperature range from -40°C to +125°C. The part comes in a 2.5mm by 2.0mm WLCSP package.
The OS2000 will be available for alpha customer engagement in December 2024 with general sampling in 2Q25. Mass production of OS2000 is 2H25.
“IO-Link transceivers are the backbone of Industry 4.0, driving intelligence on the factory floor by enabling seamless communication between devices,” said Andrew Baker, CEO of Orca Semiconductor, in a statement. “The OS2000 is Orca Semi’s first Smart Factory platform product to enable our more ambitious plans for more highly integrated innovative solutions in the near future.”
