Infineon XMC4300 microcontroller 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.
