Front End | News Analog Devices announces multiprotocol industrial Ethernet switch platform A s
nalog Devices (ADI) has introduced the ADIN2299, a multiprotocol industrial Ethernet switch platform, to address the connectivity
needs of industrial and process automation, motion control, transportation, and energy automation. The industrial Ethernet switch platform is designed to operate in a star, line, or ring topology. The ADIN2299 is a highly integrated and tested solution that contains a communications controller, a two port 10/100Mbps Ethernet switch, memory, physical layer (PHY), and protocol stacks. The ADIN2299 hardware, coupled with its software and pre-certified industrial protocols, reduces system integration time while providing fast time to market.
The ADIN2299 reduces design and debug time by not only providing the protocol stack but also the RTOS, file system, drivers, and TCP/IP. An application processor can connect to the switch platform via a UART, SPI or Ethernet interface. The ADIN2299 software enables the application processor to connect to a unified interface so that various industrial protocols can be utilised without requiring any changes to the application processor software. This eliminates the learning curve associated with incorporating additional protocols. Customers can now leverage a single field device hardware design to support multiple industrial protocols. Another critical element of the ADIN2299
is cyber security. It has a secure boot and secure update feature which ensures that only verified code is executed, reducing possible disruptions in the field caused by cyber attacks.
An ADIN2299 evaluation kit is available for platform assessment and system development. An application example is provided to demonstrate end-to-end, host-to-network and interface- to controller communication. Once an application development board is connected via UART, SPI, or Ethernet interface with the ADIN2299 evaluation board, protocol
communication can be evaluated
using a PLC or controller simulator. This allows for a complete verification before integrating the ADIN2299 into a system.
http://www.analog.com sureCore publishes In Memory Compute white paper
ureCore, the ultra-low power, embedded memory specialist, has published a white paper outlining its In Memory Compute (IMC)
technology, “CompuRAM”. In order to meet stringent power budgets, current IoT devices often have limited processing power and, for more complex operations, upload sensor data to cloud servers for analysis. This introduces unavoidable latencies potentially prejudicing timely responses to significant incidents. In addition, this operational model mandates robust and secure connectivity provision without which the device’s usefulness can be compromised. Critical to resolving this challenge
is to dramatically improve power efficiency in order to shift AI inference processing to the edge. However, this demands significant increases in both computational capability as well as on-chip memory requirements. The key to achieving target performance goals is predicated on the ability to rapidly execute relatively simple data manipulation operations. Implementing these in a classic “fetch-process-store” type scenario adversely impacts power consumption because not only is the processor and SRAM consuming power but the data must be shifted from, and then back to memory.
SureCore has exploited its expertise in
ultra-low power memory design to create CompuRAM, an IMC development platform dedicated to enabling the realisation of specific computation and data manipulation capabilities within a low power SRAM implementation thereby facilitating
significant power savings.
The white paper introduces sureCore’s approach to IMC and is available to download from:
