In summary, industrial customers value robustness, reliability, accuracy and resolution. In addition, increasing I/O density dictates lower power and smaller products. I/O module designers require support for multiple current and voltage levels along with wide input ranges to handle the variety of field devices in the factory. Differential inputs, dynamic range, reliability and accuracy are some of the key requirements in this space. Texas Instruments has a broad portfolio of products for this space – ranging from high performance microprocessors to precision analog operational amplifiers and data converters to interface and power products. TI’s leading edge semiconductor processes allow them to offer compelling products to I/O module designers and their long product life supply policy is in tune with the requirements of industrial customers. In addition, TI provides local support across many regions of the world in addition to a wide array of support tools (both hardware and software). PLC I/O module designers face significant design challenges to meet stringent requirements from their customers. Texas Instruments provides a broad range of products to enable I/O module designers to create compelling solutions.
