Product Preview

Power Line Carrier Modem

ON Semiconductor’s NCN49597 is an IEC 61334

5

1 compliant

power line carrier modem using spread

FSK (S

FSK) modulation for

robust low data rate communication over power lines. NCN49597 is
built around an ARM 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 4800 bits/sec.

The product configuration is done via its serial interface, which

allows the user to concentrate on the development of the application.

The NCN49597 is implemented in ON Semiconductor mixed signal

technology, combining both analog circuitry and digital functionality
on the same IC.
