AMIS-49587: Power Line Carrier Modem

ON Semiconductor's AMIS-49587 is an IEC1334 compliant power line carrier modem using spread FSK (S- FSK) modulation for robust low data rate communication over power lines. AMIS-49587 is built around an ARM 7TDMI 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 2400 bits/sec. The product configuration is done via its serial interface, which allows the user to concentrate on the development of the application. The AMIS-49587 is implemented in ON Semiconductor mixed signal technology, combining both analog circuitry and digital functionality on the same IC. For new projects, an improved version of the AMIS-49587 is now available. This device - the NCN49597/9 - offers a power line communication up to 4800 baud, reprogrammability and improved receiver sensitivity.
