Powerline Networking
Distribute Data, Audio, Video, and Voice over Existing Power Lines
Maxim's powerline communication (PLC) solutions provide secure, robust data networks using existing power lines. Virtually any electronic device connected to an electrical power line can use this technology for data communications without additional wiring.
Maxim has solved many of the problems inherent to PLC by applying advanced broadband-communication techniques, such as OFDM, to deliver cost–effective, two-way data communications in the presence of narrowband interferers, group delays, jammer signals, impulsive noise, and frequency-selective attenuations.
HomePlug 1.0 Compliant Chipset
This 14Mbps chipset solution consists of the MAX2981 and the MAX2986. The MAX2986 baseband has an open architecture that allows extensive programmability and feature enhancement to provide optimum performance. Flexibility in spectral shaping and tone notching helps your products conform to different regulations worldwide. The MAX2981 analog front-end combines an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), digital-to-analog converter (DAC), signal conditioning, and line driver, thus substantially reducing the overall number of system components.
10kHz to 490kHz OFDM PLC Modem
MAX2990 is the industry's first OFDM-based power line communication modem for the 10kHz to 490kHz frequency range. The MAX2990 delivers up to 100kbps and complies with worldwide signaling regulations, including FCC, CENELEC, and ARIB. This highly integrated SoC is ideal for applications requiring high data rates over long distances, such as automatic meter reading (AMR), energy management and load control, lighting control, and building, industrial, and home automation.
G3-PLC: Smart Grid PLC Specification
Designed for large-scale utility infrastructures this PLC solution includes OFDM-based PHY/MAC layers and a 6LoWPAN adaption layer to transmit IPv6 packets over the powerline. Advanced modulation enables a robust data rate in extremely harsh power line channels, cohabitation with S-FSK technology, and adaptive tone mapping to avoid interfering frequencies. Reliable data rate communications can be maintained over the long distances required by smart grid infrastructures.
