IO-Link Software Stack
ASIX offers a comprehensive solution with EtherCAT to IO-Link Master Gateway and IO-Link Device Software Protocol Stack. This enables customers to seamlessly integrate the latest IO-Link smart sensors and actuators into EtherCAT industrial Ethernet production environments, thereby achieving a more flexible and efficient smart factory production environment.
PCIe Bridge
The AX99100A PCIe bridge solution provides a PCIe to Multi I/O (4S, 2S+1P, 2S+SPI, LB) Controller that integrates a single-channel (X1) PCIe 2.0 Gen 1 endpoint controller and PHY with a variety of peripherals such as four high-speed serial ports, one parallel port, high-speed SPI master, I2C master, Local Bus (ISA-Like) and 24 GPIOs. AX99100A supports four modes, namely 4S (PCIe to Quad Serial), 2S+1P (PCIe to Dual Serial and Single Parallel), 2S+SPI (PCIe to Dual Serial and SPI), and LB (PCIe to Local Bus/ISA-Like).
USB Bridge
The AX781x0 family features three USB connectivity bridge solutions including USB 2.0 to Dual Serial (AX78120, 1S or 2S), USB 2.0 to Quad Serial (AX78140, 4S) and USB 2.0 to Dual Serial and Single Parallel (AX78140, 2S+1P) controllers.
