Industrial Ethernet switches deliver reliable and Low-Latency Communication

Mouser Electronics, Inc. now stocks the ADIN3310 and ADIN6310 industrial Ethernet switches from Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI). The versatile three- and six-port Gigabit Ethernet TSN switches facilitate reliable, low-latency communication in complex networks. The switches are designed for industrial Ethernet applications, including factory and process automation, motion control and robotics, transportation, and building automation.

These industrial Ethernet switches feature uncommitted MAC interfaces and can be paired with ADI's PHY devices to form a low-power, low-latency system. With serial and reduced gigabit media independent interfaces (SGMII and RGMII), the industrial Ethernet switches support data rates of up to 1Gbps. The Ethernet switches feature built-in parallel redundancy protocol (PRP) and high-availability seamless redundancy (HSR) protocols, offloading the host processor.

Enhanced security features include hardware-based cryptography, secure boot, and secure host-pairing protocol. The industrial Ethernet switches support IEEE TSN standards, such as 802.1AS (time synchronisation), 802.1Qbv (scheduled traffic), and 802.1CB (frame redundancy), ensuring QoS for latency-sensitive streams. Each of the switch's six ports can be configured to operate at different speeds.

Developers can test and evaluate the industrial Ethernet switches with the ADI EVAL-ADIN3310EBZ evaluation kit. The kit comprises the ADIN3310 switch, three ADIN1300 Ethernet PHYs for standard Ethernet connectivity, USB and Ethernet cables, and optional SFP cages for SGMII copper/fibre connectivity.
