NEC Electronics is focused on being the leader in the delivery of Industrial Automation solutions. Our key products are centred on Industrial Networking, serial communications for sensors and actuators, and test & measurement applications.
Industrial Communications in Automation

Industrial Ethernet has become a key driving force in the Industrial Automation market and NEC Electronics is the only independent semiconductor supplier for the Enhanced Real-Time Ethernet Controller (ERTEC) for Industrial Ethernet. ERTEC is the preferred solution for Industrial Ethernet because it has been specifically designed for PROFINET IRT protocols and PROFINET is the preferred Industrial Ethernet solution for European automation equipment manufacturers.
IO-Link has now become the de-facto standard for digital sensor communications. NEC Electronics commitment to delivering class leading solutions in this area begins with the first ever single-chip IO-Link device controller available on the market. Included with the solution is all of the software required to hit the ground running with an IO-Link solution. Faster time-to-market and lower PCB costs can be easily achieved with our IO-Link solutions.
Along with specific solutions for Industrial Communications, NEC Electronics also offers a wide range of V850 32-bit microcontrollers for Distributed Control Systems, IO-Modules, and many more control layer applications. Our 78K 8-bit and 16-bit families also deliver large Flash memories and high performance mixed with the lowest power operation available on the market. To complete your solution we also offer TFT LCD panels designed for Industrial use, Power MOSFETs for Industrial Drive applications, and Optoelectronics products for isolation and switching applications. If you can’t find what you need as a standard product we also deliver a focused custom ASIC programme designed to get you to market with a custom solution as fast as possible. NEC Electronics is your leading partner for Industrial Automation semiconductor solutions.
