Features VPC3+C

  • Pin, function and software compatible with SPC3 from Siemens
  • Supporting PROFIBUS DP-VO, DP-V1 & DP-V2 protocol
  • 4 KB communication RAM
  • Optional 5V or 3,3V supply voltage, 5V tolerant inputs
  • Low power consumption
  • Software stack and Evaluation-Kit available
  • Package PQFP 44 (RoHS compliant)
  • new: DP-V2 clock synchronisation (only VPC3+CLF3 / PALF2008)
  • new: 20% reduced current consumption (only VPC3+CLF3 / PALF2008)

The VPC3+C handles the message and address identification, the data security sequences and the protocol processing for PROFIBUS-DP. In addition the acyclic communication and alarm messages, described in DPV1 extension, are supported. Furthermore the slave-to-slave communication Data eXchange Broadcast (DXB) and the Isochronous  Mode (IsoM), described in DPV2 extension, are also provided.

Automatic recognition and support of data transmission rates up to 12 Mbit/s, the integration of the complete PROFIBUS-DP protocol, 4 KByte communication RAM and the configurable processor interface are features to create high-performance PROFIBUS slave applications. The device can be operated with either 3.3V or 5V single supply voltage. For 3.3V operation the inputs are 5V tolerant.

VPC3+C is pin-compatible to VPC3+/3+B or also to SPC3 ASIC from SIEMENS. Therefore, VPC3+C can replace them in existing applications without any restrictions or SW-modifications.
