−
FSK Modem
Figure 1 shows an S
−
FSK PLC modem build around
NCN49597. For synchronization the line frequency is
coupled in via a 1 M
W
resistor. The Schottky diode pair D
5
clamps the voltage within the input range of the zero cross
detector. In the receive path a 2
nd
order high pass filter
blocks the mains frequency. The corner point defined by C
1
,
C
2
, R
1
and R
2
is designed at 10 kHz. In the transmit path a
3
th
order low pass filter build around the NCS5650 power
operational amplifier suppresses the 2
nd
and 3
rd
harmonics
to be in line with the CENELEC EN 50065
−
1 specification.
The filter components are tuned for a space and mark
frequency of 63.3 and 74 kHz respectively. The output of the
amplifier is coupled via a DC blocking capacitor C
10
to a 2:1
pulse transformer Tr. The secondary of this transformer is
coupled to the mains via a high voltage capacitor C
11
. High
energetic transients from the mains are clamped by the
protection diode combination D
3
, D
4
together with D
1
, D
2
.
Because the mains is not galvanic isolated care needs to be
taken when interfacing to a microcontroller or a PC!
