SERCOS N.A. (Bloomingdale, Ill.), the North American promotion alliance of SERCOS (SErial Real-time COmmunication System), announced a high-speed SERCOS application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). Designed to operate at 2/4/8/16 Mbit/sec, the new ASIC is expected to be far faster than current 2/4 Mbit/sec chips. This development is apparently a more practical approach to adding speed transmission to the SERCOS interface than the 10/100 Mbit/sec initiative SERCOS N.A. announced in mid-1997 (CE, July ’97, p. 74). The new ASIC will be available in late 1999 for SERCOS promotional group members and in early 2000 for others. Quantity pricing is reported to be as much as 35% less than the current chip.
