ST公司的ST7570是S-FSK動力線網(wǎng)絡(luò)系統(tǒng)級芯片(SoC),包括高性能PHY處理器核和協(xié)議控制器核,以及模擬前端(AFE)和線路驅(qū)動器,50Hz時(shí)的可編程比特率高達(dá)2.4kbps,1Hz步長的可編載波高達(dá)148.5 kHz,8-18V功率放大器電源,3.3V或5V數(shù)字I/O電源,是符合IEC61334-5-1 S-FSK標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的性價(jià)比最好的單片動力線通信解決方案.本文介紹了ST7570主要特性,方框圖以及電路圖,材料清單和PCB布局圖.

The ST7570 is a powerful power line networking system-on-chip. It combines a high-performance PHY processor core and a protocol controller core with a fully integrated analog front end (AFE) and line driver.

The ST7570 features allow the most costeffective, single-chip power line communication solution based on IEC61334-5-1 S-FSK standard. Realized using a multi-power technology with state-of-the-art VLSI CMOS lithography, the ST7570 is based on dual digital core architecture (a PHY processor engine and a protocol controller core) to guarantee outstanding communication performance with a high level of flexibility and programmability.

The on-chip analog front end, featuring analog to digital and digital to analog conversion and automatic gain control, plus the integrated power amplifier delivering up to 1Arms output current, makes the ST7570 the first complete system-on-chip for power line communication.

Line coupling network design is also simplified, leading to a very low cost BOM. Safe and performing operations are guaranteed while keeping power consumption and distortion levels very low, thus making ST7570 an ideal platform for the most stringent application requirements and regulatory standards compliance.
