Designers seeking to incorporate Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) and High-availability Seamless Redundancy and Parallel Redundancy Protocol (HSR/PRP) features face the challenge of needing multiple ICs, thereby complicating designs and increasing costs. The LAN969x Ethernet switches are single-chip solutions that minimize the need for additional components, reducing complexity and system-level costs.
ranging from 46 Gbps to 102 Gbps, complemented by a formidable 1 GHz single-core Arm®
Cortex® -A53 CPU.
Its QuadBox feature connects two HSR networks seamlessly. Perfect for critical applications, it ensures zero downtime and high reliability without the complexity and cost of alternative solutions, streamlining your design. The LAN969x family of Ethernet switches is a robust network solution that combines reliability and scalability for your industrial automation application.

S Jones Conversions calls for changes to battery legislation
Walsall-based container conversion specialist S Jones Containers is backing calls for changes to legislation relating to the manufacture of powerful lithium-ion batteries used in e-bikes following the announcement of the Product Safety and Metrology Bill in the King’s Speech.
T
he Product Safety and Metrology Bill aims to improve the safety of products powered by lithium-ion batteries, by batteries, bringing them in line with other The team of engineers at S Jones Containers battery manufacturers for more than a decade and has developed a range of specialist containerised storage solutions which provide a safe and secure space for Intensive cycle and abuse testing of lithium-ion batteries is a crucial part of electric vehicles (EVs), smartphones and other everyday products, but should a battery combust, it can burn with ferocity
storage solutions provide a safe space for manufacturers to test their latest innovations and ensure the integrity of new battery
Andrew Nicholls, conversions general manager, said, “we’ve long been concerned once a lithium-ion battery enters thermal to support the safe development of new batteries and it’s encouraging to see this issue
new discoveries all the time to better understand how to harness the power of
lithium-ion batteries and we’re proud to be able to support them with a safe space to potentially dangerous batteries which haven’t
