Description
The MAX44211 is a low-distortion line driver customized for powerline communication (PLC) applications where high output current is needed to drive the isolation and coupling transformer under varying load conditions.
Features
- very low intermodulation and harmonic distortion ensuring they meet worldwide PLC standards. The MAX44211 features advanced diagnostics for temperature and output current monitoring. There are high temperature warning and overtemperature shutdown functions. There is also a programmable current limit. The status of these diagnostics are indicated via two opendrain status outputs. The MAX44211 is designed to interface to powerlines that have wide ranging and variable loads and drive signals within.
