Power-Line Communications (PLC) Integrated Analog Front-End Transceiver
General Description
The MAX2991 power-line communication analog frontend (AFE) is a state-of-the-art integrated circuit that delivers high integration and superb performance, while reducing the total system cost. The MAX2991 is the first AFE specifically designed for OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) modulated signal transmission over power lines. Operating in the 10kHz to 490kHz band, the programmable filters allow compliance with CENELEC, FCC, and ARIB standards using the same device. The MAX2991 transceiver provides two main paths: transmit (Tx) path and receive (Rx) path. The transmit path injects an OFDM modulated signal into the AC or DC line.
