Functional Overview
The CY8CPLC10 is an integrated Powerline Communication
solution with the Powerline Modem PHY and Powerline Network
Protocol Stack on the same chip. This helps in robust communi-
cation between different nodes on a Powerline.
Powerline Transmitter
The application residing on a host microcontroller generates
messages to be transmitted on the Powerline. These messages
are delivered to the CY8CPLC10 over an I²C serial link.
The Powerline Network Layer residing on the CY8CPLC10
receives these I²C messages and generates a Powerline Trans-
ceiver (PLT) packet. These packets are modulated by the FSK
Modem and coupled with Powerline by the external coupling
circuit.
Powerline Receiver
Powerline signals are received by the coupling circuit and
demodulated by the FSK Modem PHY. These PLT packets are
decoded by the Powerline Network Protocol and then transferred
to the external host microcontroller in an I²C format.
