Overview

Serial communications have been widely used in grid infrastructure equipments. But the limitation of transmission distance and bandwidth of serial communication leads to demand for a more flexible and high-speed method to meet modern smart grid network migration. Ethernet has been accepted as an efficient communications method across industries in the last decade. This design demonstrates bi-directional switching and transmission between serial ports and Ethernet ports, which can enable legacy equipment that has only serial communication in their power grid to communicate with modern, Ethernet-based equipment without any changes to the existing hardware or software.

Features

• Reduced complexity , BOM cost and component count.
• 10/100 Ethernet MAC with Advanced IEEE 1588 PTP Hardware and both MII Interface and RMII Interface supported
• Provision to Connect to External Boards for Isolated Communication Interface and POE
• Onboard Non-isolated CAN and RS-485 PHY
• 50-Pin Connector for External Interface with MII/RMII Ethernet PHY
• 1024-KB Flash Memory and 256-KB Single-Cycle System SRAM
