Funcience Distributor
Funcience is a leading Chinese semiconductor company specializing in industrial automation chips, including EtherCAT slave controllers, DSPs, and industrial Ethernet PHYs. The company focuses on providing high-performance, reliable solutions for industrial robotics, motion control, and automation systems.
Core Product Areas
EtherCAT Slave Controllers
Funcience's EtherCAT slave controller chips are designed for industrial automation and real-time communication applications. These chips implement the EtherCAT data link layer protocol with features including integrated or external PHY options, multiple host interfaces (SPI, parallel), and sufficient DPRAM for process data exchange. The FCE1100 series offers pin-compatible replacement for Beckhoff ET1100, while FCE1353 provides integrated PHY solution compatible with Microchip LAN9253. These controllers support cycle times down to 125μs and are suitable for servo drives, I/O modules, and industrial sensors.
DSP Processors
Funcience's DSP processors are high-performance digital signal controllers designed for real-time control applications. The FCP32C335 is pin-compatible with TI TMS320F28335 and features a 150MHz C28x core, advanced PWM capabilities with 150ps resolution HRPWM, and comprehensive peripheral set. These DSPs excel in motor control, digital power conversion, and industrial automation applications requiring precise timing and fast response. The rich analog integration including 12-bit ADC and analog comparators reduces external component requirements.
Industrial Ethernet PHYs
Funcience's industrial Ethernet PHYs provide reliable network connectivity for industrial automation applications. These PHYs support 10/100Mbps Ethernet communication with features optimized for industrial environments including extended temperature range, enhanced ESD protection, and robust EMI performance. They are designed to work seamlessly with Funcience EtherCAT controllers and third-party MAC implementations. The PHYs support Auto-MDIX for easy cabling and provide status indicators for link and activity monitoring.
Development Tools
Funcience provides comprehensive development tools to accelerate product design and time-to-market. These include evaluation boards with reference designs, software libraries and sample code, configuration tools for EtherCAT devices, and detailed technical documentation. Development kits are available for all major product families including EtherCAT controllers, DSP processors, and industrial PHYs. Reference designs demonstrate best practices for hardware design, PCB layout, and software implementation. Funcience's development ecosystem enables engineers to quickly prototype and validate their designs.
