HD-PLC™ IC

Product Overview

Features

• The world’s 1st power line communication IC that embeds the latest HD-PLC™ core conforming to IEEE 1901-2020 (March 2021 researched).
• Easy applicable for IoT devices since the general interfaces such as UART/SPI and Ethernet MAC (RMII) are implemented.
• Supports are also available for protocols like BACnet, Lonworks for the industrial applications (including building management)

Advantages

• Low power consumption (around 200mW) is achieved with Socionext techniques.
• Adoption of advanced process leads to a compact package size.
• With a compact power circuit design the PCB design and BOM costs can be optimized.
• Stable powerline communication is achieved by the combination of high quality analog and noise reduction techniques.
• Long distance communication (up to 10km**) is realized by the adoption of the 4th generation of HD-PLC™ core.
