CY53120

The CY53120 is a Neuron® Chip which implements a node for the LonWorks® distributed intelligent control networks. It incorporates, on a single chip, the necessary communication and control functions, both in hardware and firmware, that facilitate the design of a LonWorks node.

The CY53120 is manufactured using the state-of-the-art 0.35-m Flash technology, providing to the designers the most cost-effective Neuron Chip solution.

Services at every layer of the OSI networking reference model are implemented in the LonTalk firmware-based protocol stored in the 10-KB ROM. In addition, the ROM firmware also contains preprogrammed I/O drivers, greatly simplifying application programming. The application program is stored in the EEPROM memory, and may be updated by downloading over the network.

The CY53120 contains a very flexible 5-pin communication port, that can be configured to interface to a wide variety of media transceivers at a wide range of data rates. The most common transceiver types are: twisted-pair, powerline, RF, IR, fiber-optics, and coaxial.

The CY53120 Neuron Chip is fully compatible with the Motorola MC143120E2 device.
