GigaDevice's Latest EtherCAT® SubDevice Controller Chip: A Game-Changer for Industrial Automation

GigaDevice GDSCN832: EtherCAT® SubDevice Controller Chip for Industrial Automation

Chatou/France, 7 January 2025. Macnica ATD Europe, a valued distribution partner of GigaDevice, is pleased to announce the availability of the GigaDevice EtherCAT® SubDevice Controller GDSCN832.

Officially authorized by Beckhoff, the GDSCN832 and GD32H75E MCU series are engineered for industrial automation, supporting applications such as servo control, VFDs, PLCs, and communication modules. With powerful processing capabilities and versatile interfaces, the GDSCN832 ensures real-time synchronization and efficient data handling.

Samples and development boards are available now, with mass production set for Q2 2025.

 

The GDSCN832 features dual internal PHYs, an MII extension interface, and 100BASE-TX support for 100 Mbps operation. It includes eight FMMUs for improved responsiveness and under 1 μs precision. Operating on a single 3.3V supply, it supports low-power modes, making it ideal for motor control and data acquisition.

 

Integrated with the GDSCN832, the GD32H75E series features a high-performance Arm® Cortex®-M7 MCU running up to 600 MHz. It includes hardware accelerators, on-chip Flash (1 MB to 3.8 MB), SRAM, and peripherals like USARTs, SPIs, USB, and CAN. Additionally, it offers high-precision ADCs, DACs, and a digital filter for motion control, all available in BGA240 packages for a wide range of industrial applications.

 

Macnica ATD Europe offers full technical support for the GigaDevice GDSCN832 EtherCAT® SubDevice Controller and GD32H75E MCU series, now available for purchase.
