Digi-Key at electronica 2022 with Harting, ADI & Wurth Electronik
At electronica 2022, on the Digi-Key booth, Paige West speaks with Joachim Finke, Head of Global Product Management (Network Interface Connectors), Harting, Martin Leihenseder, Senior Specialist, Signal & Communications, Wurth Electronik, and Fiona Treacy, Senior Director, Digital Marketing & Core Automation Technology Unit, Analog Devices about Single Pair Ethernet, and the partnership between these three companies.
Harting, Analog Devices and Würth Elektronik have joined forces to promote Single Pair Ethernet.
In order to further strengthen the industrial use of the Ethernet variant, which was originally introduced in the automotive industry, the four companies summarise their matching products here as well as explain the importance of SPE in the industrial space.
The companies go to speak about how the technology is different from standard ethernet and how you can start developing solutions today!
The interview also explores Sparkfun’s ultra-low-power Ethernet function board, which came about as a result from their collaboration with Analog Devices, Harting, and Würth Elektronik.
SparkFun's COM-19038 MicroMod single-pair Ethernet function board introduces the ADIN1110 10BASE-T1L two-wire Ethernet protocol into the SparkFun MicroMod ecosystem. Using the ADIN1110 Ethernet transceiver from Analog Devices Inc., this function board provides a development tool for long-range, 10Mb/s single-pair 10BASE-T1L Ethernet applications.
The SparkFun MicroMod single-pair Ethernet function board features a Harting T1 industrial single-pair Ethernet connector and passive components from Würth Elektronik, all populated on a MicroMod function board that can easily be added to the MicroMod system via its M.2 connector, which is plug-and-play, no soldering required.
The ADIN1110 is an ultra-low-power, single-port, two-wire Ethernet transceiver. It features an integrated media access control (MAC) interface to allow direct connections with a host controller via a serial peripheral interface (SPI) at 10Mbp/s full-duplex. The specified cable reach for edge nodes is up to 1,700 metres.
