NCN49597
Power Line Communication
Modem
The NCN49597 is a powerful spread frequency shift keying
(S−FSK) communication system−on−chip (SoC) designed for
communication in hostile environments.
It combines a low power ARM Cortex M0 processor with a high
precision analogue front end. Based on 4800 baud S−FSK
dual−channel technology, it offers an ideal compromise between speed
and robustness.
Pin−compatible with its predecessor, the AMIS−49587, this new
generation chip extends the communication frequency range to cover
all CENELEC bands for use in applications such as e−metering, home
automation and street lighting. The NCN49597 benefits for more than
10 years of field experience in e−metering and delivers innovative
features such as a smart synchronization and in−band statistics.
Fully reprogrammable, the modem firmware can be updated in the
field. Multiple royalty−free firmware options are available from
ON Semiconductor; refer to the separate datasheets for details. The
configurable GPIOs allow connecting peripherals such as LCDs or
metering ICs.
