The ND1160 sets new standards in industrial automation and sensor communication – with its compact design, robust functionality, and full IO-Link standard compliance.
The ND1160 was developed specifically for modern industrial sensor and automation applications and supports the IO-Link data rates COM1, COM2, and COM3. With its ability to operate in high-side, low-side, and push-pull modes, it offers a flexible interface for a wide variety of platforms and facilitates integration into existing systems. With a wide operating voltage range from 8.5 V to 36 V and an output current of at least 200 mA, the transceiver is both powerful and versatile.
The ND1160 is available in a 3 x 3 mm DFN or 1,76 x 2,26 mm WLCSP package.
Thanks to integrated protection mechanisms such as overcurrent, thermal shutdown, and reverse polarity protection, the ND1160 offers high reliability—a decisive advantage in demanding manufacturing environments.
“We are proud to offer our customers the ND1160 from Nisshinbo, an IO-Link solution that not only impresses with its technology, but also offers maximum flexibility and ease of integration“, explains Guido Gandolfo, Product Line Manager at MEV. “The ND1160 with its small housing opens up new possibilities, especially for developers with limited installation space – both in sensor and actuator systems.“
MEV Elektronik supports its customers with technical advice, evaluation boards, and samples of the ND1160 to accelerate development processes and facilitate the market launch of innovative products.
The IO-Link Device Transceiver ND1160 will be presented at Embedded World show in Nuremberg (10 MAR to 12 MAR 2026) at the MEV booth 153 in hall 3. You are welcome to book an appointment in advance.
