MAX2990 Overview
The MAX2990 is a highly integrated system-on-chip (SoC) that bines the physical (PHY) and media access control (MAC) layers using Maxim’s 16-bit MAXQ microcontroller core. The MAX2990 utilizes OFDM modulation techniques to enable robust data munication using the same electrical network that supplies power to all other devices on the network. The MAX2990 includes the MAXQ microcontroller core.
