CY3273: Low Voltage Powerline Communication

1 января 2018

Cypress’s Powerline Communication Solution (PLC) enables transmission of command and control data over high voltage and low voltage powerlines. This solution is developed for low bandwidth powerline communication.

The CY3273 PLC Low Voltage (LV) evaluation board demonstrates the ability of the Cypress CY8CPLC10 to transmit data at 2400 bps over low voltage (12 – 24 V AC/DC) powerlines.

Powerlines are one of the most widely available communication media in the world. The pervasiveness of powerlines makes it difficult to predict its characteristics and noise. Because of the variable quality of powerline, implementing robust communication over powerline has been an engineering challenge for years. With this in mind, the Cypress PLC solution is designed to enable secure, reliable, and robust communication over powerline.
