Funcience Products

Funcience offers four main product categories: EtherCAT Slave Controllers (ESC) for industrial Ethernet communication, DSP Processors for motor control and power electronics, Industrial Ethernet PHYs for network connectivity, and Development Tools including evaluation boards and reference designs. The EtherCAT controllers include the FCE1100 series as ET1100 alternatives and FCE1353 as LAN9253 compatible solutions. DSP products feature the FCP32C335 which is pin-compatible with TI TMS320F28335. These products serve industrial automation, robotics, CNC machinery, and new energy applications.

Browse our product categories below to find the right solution for your application. Contact our FAE team for selection guidance and sample requests.

Product selection depends on your specific application requirements. For EtherCAT communication, choose FCE1100 for basic 2-port applications or FCE1353 for 3-port with integrated PHY needs. For motor control and power conversion, the FCP32C335 DSP offers 150MHz performance with rich peripherals. Consider factors like number of EtherCAT ports, processing speed requirements, peripheral interfaces needed, and temperature range. Funcience provides detailed datasheets, application notes, and reference designs to help with selection. Our FAE team can review your requirements and recommend optimal solutions.

Review the selection guides in each product category or contact LiTong for personalized recommendations based on your application requirements.

The FCE1100 is a 2-port EtherCAT slave controller designed as a pin-compatible alternative to Beckhoff ET1100, requiring external PHY chips. It supports SPI and parallel MCU interfaces with 8KB DPRAM. The FCE1353 is a more integrated 3-port solution with dual integrated Ethernet PHYs, pin-compatible with Microchip LAN9253/9252. It offers higher integration reducing BOM cost and PCB complexity. FCE1100 is suitable for cost-sensitive 2-port applications while FCE1353 is ideal for applications requiring 3 ports and reduced component count. Both support standard EtherCAT protocols and industrial temperature ranges.

Choose FCE1100 for 2-port applications with external PHY flexibility, or FCE1353 for 3-port applications requiring integrated PHYs and simplified design.

Funcience DSP processors, particularly the FCP32C335, excel in applications requiring high-performance real-time control. Key applications include motor control for servo drives and variable frequency drives, power conversion for solar inverters and UPS systems, digital power supplies with advanced control algorithms, CNC machine tool controllers requiring precise multi-axis coordination, and industrial automation equipment. The FCP32C335 features 150MHz C28x core, 18 PWM channels with 150ps resolution HRPWM, 12-bit ADC, and comprehensive communication interfaces including CAN, SPI, and UART.
