L6360TR

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The L6360TR 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, with a typical operating current of 4 mA. It features programmable high-side, low-side, or push-pull output stages with resistance less than 2 Ω. The IC includes a 3.3 V/5 V linear regulator capable of delivering 50 mA. Fault monitoring covers overtemperature, overload, undervoltage, and parity errors. Communication with the host microcontroller utilizes a fast-mode 2-wire I²C interface for configuration and diagnostic access via nine registers.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Programmable C/Q O output stage supporting high-side, low-side, or push-pull configurations for flexible load driving.
• Integrated protection mechanisms including programmable cut-off current, thermal shutdown, and automatic restart against short-circuits and overloads.
• Internal dual LED driver circuits with open-drain configuration providing two programmable sequences for diagnostic indication.
• Comprehensive fault monitoring system tracking L+ line status, overtemperature, C/Q overload, linear regulator undervoltage, and parity check errors.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• IO-Link master nodes in industrial automation systems
• Smart sensor interfaces requiring PHY2 compliance
• Multi-port master evaluation platforms
• Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) edge devices

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix TR indicates reel packaging when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Ensure ESD handling protocols are followed due to moisture sensitivity classification. Validate that the specific revision matches design requirements for I²C addressing and register mapping.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a single-chip solution for IO-Link master ports with PHY2 compatibility. Consider the programmable output stages if variable load types such as resistive, inductive, or capacitive loads are present. Verify that the 18 V to 32.5 V input range aligns with the system power architecture. Evaluate the need for integrated LED diagnostics versus external indicators based on enclosure constraints.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

The L6360 belongs to STMicroelectronics' IO-Link transceiver family, designed for Industry 4.0 connectivity. It complements other devices like the L6362A and L6364 to provide scalable master solutions. The part is commonly utilized in evaluation boards such as STEVAL-IDP004V1, demonstrating its role in multi-port master implementations for industrial networking.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The L6362A is a related transceiver device within the same product family. Verify pinout compatibility and register map similarities before substitution. Ensure that any alternative component maintains PHY2 compliance and supports the required COM1, COM2, and COM3 baud rates for functional equivalence.
