ST-PLC-AFE Overview
The ST-PLC-AFE is a power-line munication, analog front-end device capable of capacitive or transformer-coupled connections to the power line while under the control of a microcontroller or a DSP. The line driver is able to drive low-impedance lines, requiring up to 1.65 A, into reactive loads. It can also work in differential mode for high performance, as well as single-ended mode for a low-cost bill of materials...
