NCN5110, NCN5121 and NCN5130 transceivers boost
available power for external loads, help designers create
compelling smart-building systems
Intelligent Building Systems (IBS) Conference – Booth F26
– ON Semiconductor (Nasdaq: ON), driving energy efficient
innovations, has introduced three new KNX certified twisted pair
transceivers for smart building applications. The new devices allow
small, low-cost external components, while delivering increased
regulator current and boosting overall efficiency by up to 20
percent compared to existing solutions.
“The three new transceivers we are launching today support the
world's most adopted standard for building automation, and enable
designers to create even more cost-effective products offering
greater functionality and energy efficiency,” said Ryan Cameron,
vice president of Industrial and Timing products for ON
Semiconductor. “Making buildings smarter is key to preserving the
environment and ensuring energy security, as buildings currently
represent about 40 percent of the world’s energy consumption.”
The NCN5110, NCN5121 and NCN5130 integrate two high-efficiency
DC-DC converters and a 20 V low drop-out regulator for powering
external loads from the bus. The devices are offered in a QFN-40
package and are specified for operation over the extended
temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.
The NCN5121 and NCN5130 implement the complete KNX physical
(PHY) and media-access (MAC) layers, while the NCN5110 is an
analog-only bit transceiver to be used in combination with a
microcontroller hosting the KNX MAC. The NCN5121 is pin to pin
compatible with NCN5120, and offers higher efficiency and increased
regulator output. As ON Semiconductor’s most advanced transceiver,
the NCN5130 is capable of taking up to 40 mA from the KNX Bus,
which is the highest current on the market, and gives designers
greater flexibility to power devices such as an LCD panel or
touchscreen, or for driving relays at higher speeds.
The new devices allow designers to specify lower external
capacitance and inductance values. Compared to other transceivers
on the market, this can yield savings up to 40 percent. In
addition, the smaller values translate into physically smaller
component sizes. In combination with the highly compact package
size, this saves board space and enables designers to satisfy the
tough space constraints typical of many KNX applications.
