ZMD Offers I/O Channel for Automation Applications

ZMD has added the ZIOL2201 high-voltage I/O channel, which meets the physical layer requirements of sensor/actuator systems used in factory automation, to its line driver and level shifter I/O range. An integrated DC/DC converter allows power supply of external sensor and actuators with up to 15V, saving board space and design costs. The ZIOL2201 is function- and pin-compatible with the ZIOL2401 and ZIOL2211. It is available with smart power functionality for device applications.

ZMDI's ZIOL2201 high-voltage line driver is suitable for all kinds of sensors and actuators used in the harsh environment of automation applications. In addition to the DC/DC converter, it provides a range of configurable system features. The IO-Link drivers are fully programmable ranging from slew rate and current settings to numerous diagnostics features. ZMDI's existing IO-Link tools also support the ZIOL2201. Using the same IC and development tools for all serial I/O saves design time and shortens time to market, ZMD said. Furthermore, it allows designers to apply a proven design to a new product.

The ZIOL2401 starter and lab kits are suitable for all ZMDI IO-Link products, including the ZIOL2201. The lab kit includes an evaluation board and a Windows-based configuration tool, with a USB interface between the PC and the board. Developers can easily evaluate configurations and save the results. In-system programming via SPI is also supported, allowing full customisation after manufacturing. Operating temperature of the ZIOL2201 is -40C to +85C. The IC comes in a 4 x 4mm QFN24 package. An exposed die paddle ensures optimum heat distribution.
