COMMUNICATION SOLUTION
Cypress’s Powerline Communication (PLC) solution enables the implementation of robust
and reliable communication over AC and DC Powerlines. With Cypress’s PLC solution,
you do not need new wires to transmit command and control data — you can reuse the
existing infrastructure. Cypress’s PLC family of devices (CY8CPLC10 and CY8CPLC20)
combines revolutionary PSOC® technology with reliable Powerline
Communication to allow integration of multiple system functions in a single device, thereby
reducing BOM costs and providing a smarter way to implement command and control.
FCC- and CENELEC-compliant boards and complete network protocol implementation
from Cypress accelerate time-to-market.
• Integrated Powerline FSK PHY modem, network protocol, and complete coupling circuitry
• Supports bidirectional half-duplex communication
• Variable baud rates up to 2400 bps
• Onboard power supply derives power from
the Powerline bus
