2.3 System Design Theory

This reference design implements an IO-Link master using the TIOL111 device PHY and surrounding components needed to build a complete IO-Link master design. Therefore, on the physical side in addition to the TIOL111 device, a power supply for the ports, as well as a current sink is necessary. Also the hardware must be able to drive the wake-up pulse.

On the other side it is necessary to have a hardware as well as frame handler that support all three communication speeds. The TIOL111 device used as PHY here can handle all speeds (COM1, COM2, COM3) the eight port frame handler is implemented on the PRU of the used AM437x.

To realize an eight-port master, eight TIOL111 devices are necessary; For each four ports, one TPS4H160 is necessary. Each port also needs one current sink. This results in only eight TIOL111 devices (IO-Link PHY), two TPS4H160 devices (high-side switch) and one TLC59282 device(LED driver).
