1.3 Description
The Texas Instruments TMS320F28PLC83 PLC MCU is optimized to meet the requirements for PLC
communications networks in Smart Grid deployments around the world.
The F28PLC83 MCU features the C28x 32-bit CPU that is capable of executing the narrowband OFDM
PLC modem standards, which adhere to key international and industry standards such as PRIME, G3-
PLC, IEEE-1901.2, and ITU G.9903/9904 in the CENELEC frequency bands.
The F28PLC83 MCU is optimized to work with the AFE031 PLC analog front end. The AFE031 is an
integrated PLC AFE that is capable of a transformer coupled connected to the AC mains power line. It is
ideal for driving high-current, low-impedance lines driving up to 1.9 A into reactive loads. The AFE031 is
compliant to CENELEC A, B, C, and D (EN50065-1, -2, -3, -7).
