Yes, please deliver your own AX58100 schematic and PCB layout files to ASIX’s Support (support@asix.com.tw) for further review before making your own AX58100 PCB board.

For CTT test, the SWITCH ID sets high nibble = 0, low nibble = 5 on the daughter board.

Yes, AX58100 supports industrial temperature range: -40 to +105°C

Yes, you can be found within the download section here:

Yes, The AX58100 is a 2/3-port EtherCAT Slave Controller (ESC), licensed from Beckhoff Automation, with two integrated Fast Ethernet PHYs which support 100Mbps full-duplex operation and HP Auto-MDIX.

When you purchase an AX58100 from ASIX Corp., the EtherCAT license is embedded in the chip. For AX58100's products there is no additional EtherCAT license fee.

There are SPI Slave and Local Bus interface for configuring to connect MCU.

ASIX provides both AX58100 evaluation boards, one is AX58100 Copper board, other one is AX58100 Fiber board. If you need to purchase the AX58100 evaluation board. Please contact ASIX's Sales (sales@asix.com.tw) for more details.

Please refer to Ethercat PHY Selection Guide for selection, please note the PHY must with TX_CLK fixed phase ability.

the AX58100's eeprom data is included in the related ESI file, segment, the user can download the eeprom data into the AX58100 by using the Twincat through the Ethercat network.

ASIX provides a couple of AX58100 development kits for your reference:
1. AX58100 SPI Master ADC Sensor DIO Demo Kit
2. AX58100 SixStep PWM BLDC Motor Demo Kit
3. AX58100_AX99100 LocalBus ESC PCCard Demo Kit
4. AX58100 Stepper Motor Control Reference Kit
5. AX58100_STM32F303RE Motor Control Demo Kit
More reference designs are under development.

AX58100 provides two SPI slave interfaces, share SCLK, MOSI, MISO pins and individual chip select SCS_ESC and SCS_FUNC, that is support PDI and AX58100 specific function register and memory access. When using PDI SPI, SCS_FUNC must be Pull up, and SCS_ESC is used as Chip Select. When using Function SPI, SCS_ESC must be pulled up, and SCS_FUNC is used as Chip Select

AX58100 provides SPI slave, asynchronous 8/16-bit microcontroller interface (also name Asynchronous Local Bus) and Digital I/O. The SPI slave and asynchronous 8/16-bit Local Bus interface will be used when external MCU in employed the slave system, and the Digital I/O is used for when direct I/O control.

The 0xC8 is Type Code and 0x0B95 is Vendor ID for AX58100 EtherCAT Slave Controller

The AX58100 supports five multi-function bootstrap pins (pin 19, 20, 58, 40, and 41) for five hardware configurations, i.e. external I2C EEPROM size, ESC supported port number, RSTO polarity and integrated port 0/1 PHY media mode; and supports other three multi-function bootstrap pins (pin 42, 52, 66) for the configuration of port 2 MII signals. User needs to utilize an external resistor to pull up / down these bootstrap pins.

The AX58100 implements a 3-port EtherCAT slave controller (ESC), the Port 0 and 1 integrate embedded Ethernet PHYs, and port 2 is an optional MII interface which are multi-function pins shared with others interfaces (i.e. PWM, Hall, Local Bus, Digital I/O). The AX58100 also Integrate 3-channel PWM, Step/Direction controllers, Incremental/ABZ, Hall encoder, SPI master interface, Emergency Stop Input and I/O Watchdog.

AX58100 supports 9 Kbytes Process Data RAM, 8 Fieldbus Memory Management Units (FMMUs), 8 Sync-Managers and a 64-bit Distributed Clock.

The AX58100 supports II2C EEPROM with EEPROM size from 1 Kbit (128 bytes) to
4 Mbit (500Kbytes).
