Power Line Communications Master Modem IC ADE8167 Data Sheet FEATURES GENERAL DESCRIPTION Narrow-band power line communications IC Integrates physical, data link and networking layers Application layer Supports DL/T 645-1997 or DL/T 645-2007 data protocol (specific to China), as well as a pass through option Networking layer Automatic baud rate negotiation Dynamic routing Data link layer CRC checking Network key for data security Physical layer FSK modulation Up to 2400 bps on a 3-phase network Simple serial interface to host microprocessor Single 3.3 V supply, low power (140 mW typical) Package and temperature range 40-lead 6 mm × 6 mm LFCSP Fully specified for −40°C to +85°C operation In an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) scenario, the ADE81671. IC provides the essential functions for a master modem; maintaining the network configuration and relaying messages between the utility back office and the slave modems associated with the energy meters. The ADE8167 is a complete digital baseband processor IC that includes physical layer, data link layer, and networking layer functionality. The ADE8167 includes a receive path 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and a transmit path digital demodulator to reduce the external analog front-end component count. The ADE8167 UART communicates directly with a host microprocessor. The ADE8167 master modem IC is designed to work with the ADE8157 slave modem IC for a complete power line communications system.
