Home Energy Reference Platform Fact Sheet

Fact Sheet
Home Energy Gateway Reference Platform
i.MX28 ARM9™ processor and ZigBee® MC13224V
Platform in Package solution
Overview
HEG Reference Design Block Diagram
Current energy transmission methods create
Sub GHz
a demand for a more intelligent interface
2.4 GHz
between the utility-controlled smart grid and
DC/DC Buck
the consumer. The Freescale home energy
gateway (HEG) reference platform meets that
challenge. Acting as the interface between the
smart home to be connected and controlled

• Provides value to the consumer by allowing
DC/DC Buck
power configuration, predefined control
management (HVAC) and energy production
checks (solar panels, wind turbines)
• Provides value to the utility provider by
performing granular real-time demand
control, delivering alerts (tariff, peak) and
designing consumer profiles for accurate
energy reduction automation
• Provides a friendly user interface to encourage
user interaction and long-term use
• Provides a highly integrated and flexible
platform to help shorten development time
and reduce time to market
• Dedicated hardware support for AES128based authenticated boot, signed/
authenticated firmware and dedicated
hardware acceleration for AES, 3DES, SHA,
MD5 encryption/decryption/hash algorithms
and secure off-chip storage to address
security, safety and privacy concerns
• Based on the low-power Freescale
ARM926TM based i.MX28 system-on-chip
(SoC) solution with power management
unit, Ethernet, LCD controller and dual
High-Speed USB with embedded PHY
