Microchip Adds EtherCAT and TSN to PolarFire Industrial Networking

Microchip expands its PolarFire industrial edge networking stack with EtherCAT and Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) capabilities for predictable, real-time communications. Beckhoff’s EtherCAT IP supports PolarFire FPGA and SoC devices, while Microchip’s TSN IP is supported on PolarFire SoC FPGAs. This video explores networking speeds, TSN traffic scheduling and synchronization, integrated security, and development resources for applications including motion control, factory automation, embedded vision, and autonomous mobile robots.
