AFE030 Datasheet (Texas Instruments) - Powerline Communications Analog Front-End

AFE030, Powerline Communications Analog Front-End

The AFE030 is a low-cost, integrated, powerline communications (PLC) analog front-end (AFE) device that is capable of capacitive- or transformer-coupled connections to the powerline while under the control of a digital signal processor (DSP) or microcontroller.

It is ideal for driving low-impedance
