Embedded Power Line Carrier Modem

The PLC communication modem embedded in the IDC2000 ICs is a two-way half duplex transmission based on Systel property spread-spectrum PLC method. Its main specifications are as follows:

  1. High Input Sensitivity: 10mV
  2. Excellent Noise Suppression: 10-10 BER versus S/N 6db
  3. Communications Rate: 2 - 4 Kbits/sec
  4. Carrier Frequency: 100KHz- 200KHz

Mains Synchronization

The DPLL implemented in the IDC2000 is a configurable digital phase lock loop module aimed at synchronization to the line zero cross in power electronic systems or for sensing communication signals in noisy environment.
The DPLL enables a jitter-free synchronization to the mains. It serves mainly as a packet synchronization means for the PLC communication but can be used for other applications (UPS, etc.).
