L6360

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The L6360 is a monolithic IO-Link master port transceiver compliant with PHY2 (3-wire) specifications. It supports COM1 (4.8 kbaud), COM2 (38.4 kbaud), and COM3 (230.4 kbaud) communication modes. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 18 V to 32.5 V, featuring a programmable C/Q O output stage capable of high-side, low-side, or push-pull configurations with resistance less than 2 Ω. An integrated L+ protected high-side driver delivers up to 500 mA. Additional features include a 3.3 V/5 V, 50 mA linear regulator, fast mode I²C for control and diagnostics, and comprehensive protection against overload, short-circuit, overtemperature, and undervoltage conditions.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure correct package type and temperature grade compatibility with your design requirements. Confirm that the component meets RoHS directives if required by your manufacturing process. Check humidity sensitivity levels and storage conditions prior to assembly to prevent moisture-induced damage during soldering procedures.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing single-port IO-Link masters requiring PHY2 compliance. Ensure the host microcontroller supports USART and I²C interfaces for proper configuration and data transfer. Verify that the power supply architecture can handle the 18 V to 32.5 V input range and provide adequate heat dissipation for the integrated linear regulator and output drivers under maximum load conditions.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

The L6360 belongs to STMicroelectronics' family of IO-Link communication master transceivers. It serves as a physical layer solution for connecting industrial sensors to higher-level controllers. Evaluation boards such as STEVAL-IOM001V1 and STEVAL-IDP004V1 utilize this IC to demonstrate multi-port master capabilities and integration with STM32 microcontrollers.
