The 5000 Series Processors

5000 Series Processors

FT 5000 Smart Transceiver Neuron 5000 core and free-topology twisted-pair transceiver (ISO/IEC 14908.2) in a single package.

Neuron 5000 Processor Microprocessor optimized for the LonWorks communication protocol.

Neuron 5000 & FT 5000 FT 5000 Neuron 5000

 

Leading the next generation of control products.

Faster, smaller, and more cost-effective than previous-generation chips: that's the 5000 Series in a nutshell. Now, manufacturers can add LonWorks networking to a wider variety of devices, create more robust and flexible LonWorks devices, and offer them to customers at a lower price.

Neuron® 5000 Processor

Our microprocessor optimized for the LonWorks communication protocol. The industry-standard ISO/IEC 14908.1 control networking protocol is built into the chip to simplify development and guarantee interoperability. Learn more.
