AN1000 Chipset

  • 100 Kbps Throughput
  • <450 kHz
  • 3-Chips
    • PLC1000A and PLC100D Physical Layer Controllers are analog and digital chips, respectively, which provide the powerline transceiver functions and implement Adaptive Networks' patented adaptive wideband synchronization, equalization, modulation/demodulation, and forward error correction functions. As the PLC1000A and PLC1000D are custom chips, with highly integrated analog and digital functions, complicated external circuitry is not needed.

AN192 Chipset

  • 19.2 Kbps Throughput
  • <450 kHz
  • ISO Standard for Refrigerated Shipboard Containers
  • 2 Chips
    • The PLC192 is a custom, digitally controlled analog chip that provides the powerline transceiver functions and implements Adaptive Networks' patented adaptive spread spectrum synchronization, equalization, and modulation/demodulation functions. As the PLC192 is a custom chip, with highly integrated analog functions, complicated external circuitry is not needed.

AN48 Chipset

  • 4.8 Kbps Throughput
  • 9 -95 kHz (CENELEC compliant)
  • IEC Standard for Meter Reading
  • 2 Chips
    • The PLC48 is a custom, digitally controlled analog chip that provides the powerline transceiver functions and implements Adaptive Networks' patented adaptive spread spectrum synchronization, equalization, and modulation/demodulation functions. As the PLC48 is a custom chip, with highly integrated analog functions, complicated external circuitry is not needed.
    • DLP Chip (see below)
The DLP Chip is a network communications micro-controller used in the AN1000, AN192 and AN48 Chipsets incorporating an enhanced 65C02 core. The DLP manages the PLC48, controls the powerline network communications protocols, and performs error correction and detection. In addition to supporting the powerline communications functions, the DLP has sufficient processing bandwidth to be used as the controller for OEM applications, which would otherwise require an external micro-controller. The DLP supports a set of OEM-definable network architecture options and provides standard RS-232 and parallel interface protocols.
