EtherCAT 2/3 Port Slave Controller (ESC)

Standard EtherCAT slave controller

The AX58100 provides two process data interfaces (PDI), a local bus slave and an SPI slave, supporting connections with the most common MCUs and DSPs in traditional non-EtherCAT fieldbus applications. The AX58100 offers two memory spaces, ESC and function, allowing designers to determine which chip to access using chip select. The bridge synchronizes the contents of the two memory spaces with the EtherCAT master and remotely controls the functions of the AX58100 (such as PWM and SPI master). The AX58100 reports ESC and function interrupt events to the interrupt status register and notifies the external MCU/DSP to manage these ESC and function interrupt events, supporting level or edge interrupt trigger modes. The AX58100 is available in an 80-pin LQFP with EPAD, compliant with RoHS, and supports an industrial-grade operating temperature range of -40 to 105°C.
