STMicroelectronics ST8500 | Demoboard EVALKITST8500-1 / AN5525

Beschreibung

This document is aimed at describing the electrical characteristics and communication performance of a Power Line Communication (PLC) node based on the EVALKITST8500-1 hardware and G3-PLC firmware operating in the CENELEC A, CENELEC B and FCC frequency band.The EVALKITST8500-1 is an evaluation kit for the ST8500 platform, exploiting the performance capability of the ST8500 device and STLD1 line driver.The ST8500 is a fully programmable power line communication (PLC) modem system-on-chip (SoC), able to run any PLC protocol in the frequency band up to 500 kHz.Please check for the EVALKITST8500-1 hardware documentation, evaluation software and firmware libraries at st.com/powerline. For specific software or firmware releases, you may need to contact the STMicroelectronics sales office directly
