INTEGRATED CIRCUITS
TMC8462 Datasheet
Document Revision V1.5 2019-June-21
The TMC8462 is a complete EtherCAT
®
Slave Controller optimized for real time. It comprises all
blocks required for an EtherCAT slave including two 100-Mbit PHYs, a dual switch regulator power
supply and 24V capable high voltage I/Os for industrial environments. Timer, watchdog, PWM
and SPI/IIC master units allow for enhanced capabilities either in device emulation mode or in
combination with an external CPU.
