Microchip Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) with LAN969x Ethernet Switches
Designing deterministic, low-latency automotive Ethernet networks is challenging due to synchronization, latency, and scalability requirements. The LAN969x TSN switch family addresses these challenges with time-aware shaping, precise synchronization, and cut-through forwarding across multi-gigabit ports. High-port, high-bandwidth support enables zonal and backbone networks, while smaller TSN switches provide flexible options for simpler architectures.
Managing TSN switches can be time-consuming. Pairing LAN969x with the VelocityDRIVE™ Software Platform simplifies configuration using standardized YANG models, reducing integration effort. Stax software further streamlines development by unifying configuration, diagnostics, and monitoring across the TSN portfolio.
