NCS5650
2 Amp PLC Line Driver
The NCS5650 is a high efficiency, Class A/B, low distortion power line driver. Its design is optimized to accept a signal from a Power Line Carrier modem. The output stage is designed to drive up to 2 A peak into an isolation transformer or simple coil coupling to the mains. At output current of 1.5 A, the output voltage is guaranteed to swing within 1 V or less of either rail giving the user improved SNR. Power supply options are single−sided 6 V to 12 V and dual balanced $3.0 V to $6.0 V. The input stage contains an operational amplifier which can be configured as a unity gain follower buffer or used to provide the first stage of a 4−pole low pass filter.
