L6362ATR

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The L6362ATR is an IO-Link communication transceiver device IC manufactured by STMicroelectronics, designed for sensor interface applications. It complies with the PHY2 specification for 3-wire connections and supports both IO-Link and SIO modes. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 7 V to 36 V and features a maximum operating current of 2.5 mA. It supports COM1 (4.8 kBd), COM2 (38.4 kBd), and COM3 (230.4 kBd) communication modes. The output stage is configurable as high-side, low-side, or push-pull, capable of driving resistive, capacitive, and inductive loads up to 30 μF or 500 mJ inductance. It is housed in a DFN-12 package (3x3x0.90 mm) and operates between -40°C and +125°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated EMC protection compliant with IO-Link v1.1 specification and surge protection per IEC 60947-5-2.
• Comprehensive protection mechanisms including reverse polarity, overload, overheat, undervoltage, overvoltage, and wire break detection for GND and VCC.
• Built-in linear regulators providing selectable 5 V/10 mA or 3.3 V/12 mA outputs for powering connected sensors or microcontrollers.
• Supports wake-up detection and fast demagnetization for inductive loads.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Industrial sensor modules requiring IO-Link or SIO connectivity.
• Connections between PLCs, IO-Link masters, relays, and valves.
• Evaluation of IO-Link communication features using STEVAL-IOD003V1 development boards.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ATR' corresponds to the required tape-and-reel packaging configuration when ordering. Confirm that the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for your target market. Ensure the procurement channel provides valid traceability documentation for industrial-grade components. Check for moisture sensitivity level indicators on the packaging prior to installation. Validate that the supplier is an authorized distributor for STMicroelectronics products to guarantee authenticity.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select the L6362ATR when a single-channel IO-Link PHY solution is required for industrial environments. It is suitable for designs needing integrated surge and EMC protection without external components. Consider this part if the application demands flexible output configurations for various load types. Verify compatibility with 3.3 V or 5 V logic levels from the host microcontroller. Ensure the thermal management strategy accommodates the DFN-12 package constraints.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

The L6362A belongs to STMicroelectronics' family of IO-Link transceivers, which also includes the L6360 master transceiver and the dual-channel L6364. These devices facilitate standardized communication between smart sensors and industrial automation systems. The L6362A specifically targets the device side of the IO-Link architecture, bridging microcontrollers with 24 V sensing cables.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The L6364Q is a dual-channel alternative offering similar IO-Link capabilities but with two independent output channels. For master-side applications, the L6360 serves as the complementary transceiver. Direct pin-to-pin replacements are not explicitly documented; redesign may be necessary when switching between single and dual-channel variants.
