Description
The STEVAL-IHP003V1 module is a PLM (power
line modem)-based demonstration application
intended as an evaluation platform for the ST7540
FSK power line transceiver and the
STM32F103C8 ARM-based 32-bit
microcontroller.
The module is dedicated to pay television
management, SmartPlug applications, home
appliance networks and various types of remote-
controlled power distribution.
For example, it can be used in hotels to act as an
interface between a set-top box in hotel rooms,
and a service server located at the hotel
reception. Communication is achieved through
STEVAL-IHP003V1
the AC power line, by impressing a 132.5 kHz
carrier signal on the AC wiring system with
frequency shift keying modulation.
The module provides two ports, one dedicated to
the power line connection and the other to a
server connection.
On the top of the module housing, there is a two-
color LED to indicate the operating status of the
module.
In addition to the ST7540 power line transceiver
and STM32F103C8 microcontroller, the module
features an ST3232C for RS-232 interfacing and
a SPAC265-3W AC-DC switched-mode power
supply.
