NCN49597 Product Preview Power Line Carrier Modem
ON Semiconductor’s NCN49597 is an IEC 61334−5−1 compliant power line carrier modem using spread−FSK (S−FSK) modulation for robust low data rate communication over power lines. NCN49597 is built around an ARM processor core, and includes the MAC layer. With this robust modulation technique, signals on the power lines can pass long distances. The half−duplex operation is automatically synchronized to the mains, and can be up to 4800 bits/sec. The product configuration is done via its serial interface, which allows the user to concentrate on the development of the application. The NCN49597 is implemented in ON Semiconductor mixed signal technology, combining both analog circuitry and digital functionality on the same IC.
