        The switch features AVB/TSN and integrated PHY and includes a real-time engine for processing high-speed cyclic data in flight. Industrial automation and digital transformation are driving the rapid growth of the market for scalable, standardized networking solutions to meet the demands of business operations technology (OT) deployments. To provide automation manufacturers with a comprehensive networking solution, Microchip Technology Inc. today announced the LAN9662 Gigabit Ethernet switch. The switch features four ports, audio & video bridging and time-sensitive networking (AVB/TSN), two integrated 10/100/1000BASE-T PHYs and a 600 MHz Arm ® Cortex ®-A7 CPU subsystem.
        To support industrial Ethernet applications, the LAN9662 features a real-time engine (RTE) that modifies in-flight Ethernet frames for faster cyclic data rates and lower latency. LAN9662 complies with key industry standards such as OPC Unified Architecture (OPC/UA) and PROFINET software protocol stacks, providing the deterministic communication capabilities required for industrial networking applications. "The LAN9662 is an extension of the LAN966x family and provides a viable solution for expanding TSN-enabled network endpoints," said Charles Forni, vice president of Microchip's USB and Networks business unit. "Our solution provides customers with comprehensive software portfolio support, enabling customers to launch designs that meet industry standards."
        The AN9662 features two integrated PHYs that provide extremely low latency and support a variety of daisy chain topologies. The PHY interface can quickly process data within a specified time frame, providing a reliable network for automation applications such as motors, conveyor belts, and multi-axis robot controllers. The LAN9662 supports up to two RGMII/RMII, two 1000BASE-X/SerDes/2.5GBASE-X/KX, and one Quad-SGMII/Quad-USGMII interface. These configurable interfaces allow designers to implement various physical layers or interconnects that may be required.
        Microchip is a proven provider of industrial-grade networking solutions, offering a robust, energy-efficient and highly integrated portfolio with deterministic switching and fault-tolerant redundancy. The company's products greatly reduce the complexity and expense of deploying Ethernet in a variety of industrial applications.
