CypressCY8CPLC20 Power Line Communication (PLC) Solution

The CY8CPLC20 is an integrated powerline communication (PLC) chip with the powerline modem PHY and network protocol stack running on the same device. Apart from the PLC core, the CY8CPLC20 also offers Cypress's revolutionary PSoC technology that enables system designers to integrate multiple functions on the same chip. Powerlines

are

available everywhere in the world and are a widely available communication medium for PLC technology.

The pervasiveness of powerlines also makes it difficult to predict the characteristics and operation of PLC products. Because of the variable quality of powerlines around the world, implementing robust communication has been an engineering challenge for years. The Cypress PLC solution enables secure and reliable communications. Cypress PLC features that enable robust communication over powerlines include: ■
