ZMD AG (ZMDI [http://www.zmdi.com ]), a Dresden-based semiconductor company that
specializes in enabling energy-efficient [http://www.zmdi.com/energy-efficiency ]
solutions, today announces the release of the ZIOL2211 integrated circuit (IC), provided
in a wafer-level chip-scale package (WL-CSP). As a global supplier of analog and
mixed-signal solutions for automotive, industrial, medical, information technology and
consumer applications, ZMDI is pleased to introduce one of the smallest IO-Link compliant
line driver ICs on the market. The cost-effective ZIOL2211 WL-CSP driver has a
high-voltage I/O channel that meets the physical layer requirements of sensor and actuator
systems used in factory and process automation applications. The device is a member of
ZMDI's ZIOL2xxx line-driver IC family and targets small sensor and actuator devices.

"Within recent years, a trend toward smaller yet more powerful sensors and actuators
can be seen in process and factory automation. With IO-Link technology, especially our new
wafer-level chip-scale-package IC, the ZIOL2211, it has become easier to miniaturize
products," stated Bernhard Huber, Business Line Manager for Power and Analog at ZMDI
[http://www.zmdi.com ].
ZMDI [http://www.zmdi.com ]'s ZIOL2211 WL-CSP high-voltage line driver is ideal for
all types of sensors and actuators used in harsh environments such as automation
applications. It provides a wide range of configurable system features. The driver is
fully programmable for settings ranging from slew rate and current to diagnostics
features.
ZMDI's existing IO-Link tools [http://www.zmdi.com/products/io-link/io-link-tools ]
also support the ZIOL2211 WL-CSP. Using the same IC and development tools for all serial
I/O devices is highly beneficial as it saves design time and shortens time-to-market.
Furthermore, it greatly increases efficiency as it allows designers to apply a proven
design to a new product.
The ZIOL2401 [http://www.zmdi.com/products/io-link/ziol2401 ] Starter and Lab Kit are
suitable for all ZIOL2xxx ICs including the ZIOL2211 WL-CSP. The application kit includes
an evaluation board and a Windows(R)-based configuration tool, with a USB interface
between the user's PC and the board. Developers can easily evaluate configurations and
save the results. In-system programming using the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
standard is also supported, allowing for full customization after manufacturing.
The ZIOL2211 WL-CSP's operating temperature range is -40degree(s)C to +85degree(s)C.
The IC comes in a very small space-saving 2.5mm x 2.5mm WL-CSP. Unit prices start at EUR
2.18/USD 3.05, in volumes of 1000 devices. Samples are available.
Features and Benefits
Compliant
- Supports the IO-Link Specification V1.0 and V1.1
Environmentally robust
- Excellent for harsh industrial environments, -40degree(s)C to
+85degree(s)C
Efficient and effective
- Excellent for small and miniaturized sensor or actuator devices
- Cost efficient due to a very small PCB footprint
Streamlined
- Very small 2.5mm x 2.5mm WL-CSP
