Product details
Overview
MC-10287F1-HN4-M1-A from Renesas is an industrial Ethernet communications LSI featuring an Arm® Cortex®-M3 core running at 100 MHz, integrated Real-Time OS Accelerator, 768 KB instruction RAM with ECC, 512 KB data RAM with ECC, and dual 10/100 Mbps EtherPHY interfaces. It serves as a deterministic network controller for EtherCAT slave applications in factory automation systems requiring low-latency motion control.
For engineers reviewing the MC-10287F1-HN4-M1-A datasheet, MC-10287F1-HN4-M1-A pinout, MC-10287F1-HN4-M1-A application, or MC-10287F1-HN4-M1-A equivalent, key selection considerations include EtherCAT slave controller integration, 100 MHz real-time processing capability, dual PHY support with FX/TP mode flexibility, ECC-protected memory architecture, and hardware-accelerated RTOS execution.
Technical Context
The MC-10287F1-HN4-M1-A implements a dedicated EtherCAT slave controller (ESC) compliant with EtherCAT Protocol Specification V1.2.2, operating on two independent 10/100 Mbps PHY channels with configurable MDI/MDI-X and 100BASE-FX/100BASE-TX modes. Its hardware RTOS accelerator offloads μITRON 4.0 scheduling and interrupt handling from the Cortex-M3 core.
It features a 128-bit communication bus for deterministic data transfer between the ESC, DMA, and buffer allocator, alongside a 32-bit system bus at 100 MHz. The device supports external memory expansion up to 256 Mbytes and includes a 2-port Gigabit Ethernet switch fabric - though only one port is enabled for EtherCAT frame processing in this variant.

Pinout & Package
MC-10287F1-HN4-M1-A is housed in a 256-pin LFBGA package (17 mm × 17 mm, 0.8 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad. Pin assignments follow the R-IN32M3-EC variant layout per Renesas R18DS0008EJ0501 datasheet, optimized for dual-EtherPHY routing and ESD-robust industrial PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| P0_RX_P / P0_RX_N | PHY0 differential receive input | Accepts 100BASE-FX or 100BASE-TX signals; requires 100 Ω termination and controlled impedance routing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar industrial Ethernet slave applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R-IN32M3-EC-200FPV | Same die, 256-pin LFBGA, but with different boot configuration and thermal pad layout; no factory-programmed firmware. | Requires full BOM redesign for flash programming and thermal management; lacks pre-validated EtherCAT stack. | Select only for custom firmware development where full control over boot ROM and peripheral initialization is required. |
| ET1100-1000 | Standalone EtherCAT slave controller (ASIC), no MCU core; requires external microcontroller and PHYs. | Higher BOM count and board area; supports broader PHY choices but adds design complexity for timing-critical paths. | Choose when maximum PHY flexibility or migration from legacy EtherCAT designs is prioritized over integration and footprint reduction. |
Compared with R-IN32M3-EC-200FPV, MC-10287F1-HN4-M1-A offers factory-configured boot settings and validated EtherCAT firmware, reducing time-to-market. Versus ET1100-1000, it integrates MCU, memory, and dual PHYs into one package - cutting component count by ~7 and eliminating inter-chip timing constraints.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the MC-10287F1-HN4-M1-A in an EtherCAT network?
The MC-10287F1-HN4-M1-A functions as a fully integrated EtherCAT slave node, combining an Arm Cortex-M3 application processor, hardware EtherCAT Slave Controller (ESC), dual 10/100 Mbps EtherPHY interfaces, and ECC-protected memory. It processes process data, manages distributed clocks, and executes application logic - all within a single LFBGA package. This eliminates the need for external ESC ASICs or PHY transceivers in motion control and I/O module designs.
Does the MC-10287F1-HN4-M1-A support both fiber and copper Ethernet physical layers?
Yes, the MC-10287F1-HN4-M1-A supports both 100BASE-FX (fiber) and 100BASE-TX (copper) physical layers through its dual EtherPHY interfaces. Each PHY channel includes dedicated differential TX/RX pairs, signal detect inputs (P0_SD_P/N, P1_SD_P/N), and FX enable outputs (P0_FX_EN_OUT, P1_FX_EN_OUT). Configuration is handled via register settings and does not require external components for media selection.
How does the hardware Real-Time OS Accelerator in the MC-10287F1-HN4-M1-A improve system determinism?
The hardware Real-Time OS Accelerator in the MC-10287F1-HN4-M1-A offloads μITRON 4.0 kernel functions - including interrupt dispatching, context switching, and timer management - from the Cortex-M3 core. This reduces worst-case interrupt latency to under 1 µs and eliminates software-induced jitter in cyclic tasks. As a result, MC-10287F1-HN4-M1-A achieves consistent sub-100 µs EtherCAT cycle times even under heavy application load.
What memory protection mechanisms are implemented in the MC-10287F1-HN4-M1-A?
The MC-10287F1-HN4-M1-A implements ECC (Error-Correcting Code) protection across all on-chip RAM: 768 KB instruction RAM, 512 KB data RAM, and 64 KB buffer RAM. Single-bit errors are corrected in real time; double-bit errors trigger interrupts for safe fault recovery. This meets IEC 61508 SIL2 requirements for industrial safety-critical applications and prevents silent data corruption in electrically noisy factory environments.
Can the MC-10287F1-HN4-M1-A operate as a standalone EtherCAT slave without external flash memory?
Yes, the MC-10287F1-HN4-M1-A supports serial flash ROM boot directly from external SPI flash devices. Its integrated serial flash ROM memory controller supports Fast Read, Fast Read Dual Output, and Fast Read Dual I/O modes, enabling fast code execution from external memory. The device also supports instruction RAM boot for debugging - making external flash optional for development but recommended for production firmware storage and update capability.
