General Description
The MAX2992 powerline communication (PLC) base-
band modem delivers half-duplex, asynchronous data
communication over AC power lines at speeds up to
300kbps. The MAX2992 is a system-on-chip (SoC) that
combines the physical (PHY) and media access control
(MAC) layers using Maximâs 32-bit MAXQ30 microcon-
troller core. The MAX2991 integrated analog front-end
transceiver interfaces seamlessly with the MAX2992, and
together with the MAX2992 G3-PLC firmware, forms a
complete G3-PLC-compliant modem solution.
The MAX2992 utilizes OFDM techniques with DBPSK,
DQPSK, D8PSK modulation and forward error correc-
tion (FEC) to enable robust data communication using
the electrical power grid. The design provides inherent
adaptability to frequency selective channels, robust-
ness in the presence of group delay, and immunity to
impulsive noise. To allow for regulatory compliance, the
MAX2992 incorporates a programmable tone notching
mechanism. This allows the notching of certain frequency
bands in the transmit spectrum of the modem. This
feature also provides an alternative method to address
coexistence with other narrowband transmitters such as
legacy FSK-based PLC systems.
The MAX2992 MAC incorporates a 6LoWPAN adapta-
tion layer to support IPv6 packets. An enhanced CSMA/
CA and ARQ, together with the mesh routing protocol,
supports all common MAC layer services for various
network topologies. Intelligent communication mecha-
nisms adapt and enhance system performance over a
range of channel conditions. These mechanisms include
channel estimation, adaptive tone mapping, and routing
protocols. An on-chip CCM (an extension of CCM speci-
fied in IEEE 802.15.4) authentication coprocessor with
AES-128 encryption/decryption provides security and
authentication.
