XMC4300 with EtherCAT®

The new XMC4300 microcontroller series further reduces complexity in EtherCAT® implementation and cost in factory automation, industrial motor control, I/O modules and robotics. The XMC4300 series was specifically developed for EtherCAT® industrial applications, where cost pressure places a premium on design flexibility, connectivity and performance without compromise to EtherCAT® communication features.

Like the XMC4800 the XMC4300 offers the EtherCAT® node on an ARM® Cortex®-M controller with on-chip flash and analog/mixed signal capabilities. There is no need for a dedicated EtherCAT® ASIC, external memory and crystal resulting in exceptional BOM cost and PCB space savings.

As a member of the proven XMC4000 microcontroller family with full pin and code compatibility, XMC4300 is designed to the same high quality and reliability standards as the rest of the family.

Highlights

  • EtherCAT® node on an ARM® Cortex®-M controller with seamless cost and performance migration paths between XMC4300 and XMC4800 devices
  • Pin and code compatibility with the established XMC4000 microcontroller family
  • Enablement of EtherCAT® under harsh conditions (125°C ambient temperatures)
  • Guaranteed availability through 2031 or longer
  • High volume production and samples available now
