Description
The RH4Z2501 is a line driver / level shifter IC for IO-link communication with integrated protection. It addresses the IO-Link device physical layer for sensors and actuator systems. Furthermore, the IC can also be used as single channel master. For device configuration and status reading, an OWI communication interface is available. The output drivers allow push-pull operation, with a maximum RDSon of less than 2.5Ω for all operational temperatures. The RH4Z2501 is fabricated in a powerful CMOS mixed-signal technology that allows short supply voltage peaks up to 60V.

- Application NotePDF 2.25 MB Mar 25, 2025AI-generated Summary: Two reference designs for an IO-Link sensing solution combine the ZSSC3286 dual-channel resistive sensor signal conditioner and the RH4Z2501 single-channel IO-Link physical layer transceiver. The designs focus on circuit schematics and PCB layouts optimized for EMC performance and thermal management. Both designs pass IO-Link conformance tests including functional and environmental tests such as ESD, EMC, burst, surge, and radiated emissions. Key design guidelines include short communication tracks, separation of high and low voltage areas, solid ground and power planes, via stitching, and proper capacitor placement. The document details two package types: QFN/DFN and WLCSP, with PCB stack-ups and layer layouts provided. PCB design files include BOM, schematics, and Gerber files.
- Application NotePDF 446 KB Jan 24, 2024The RH4Z250x IO-Link transceiver integrates 5V and 3.3V voltage regulators that can power sensor and actuator circuitry, while package thermal limits affect available output current. This application note explains power dissipation calculations, compares internal LDO, external transistor, and DC/DC converter supply architectures, and provides guidance for optimizing efficiency, thermal performance, and reliability in IO-Link device applications.
- Application NoteThe RA2E2 and RH4Z2501 enable compact IO-Link sensor solutions that combine industrial communication with inductive metal detection. This application note demonstrates an IO-Link device implementation using an RA2E2-based inductive sensor board, including sensing, process data exchange, parameter configuration, and communication with an IO-Link master. It also explains the hardware, software, and evaluation workflow.Related Files:
