GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Master/slave architecture
The ADE81651 incorporates a high performance ADC and
DAC to create a very robust CPFSK power-line communications
IC complete with networking functionality. The ADE8165
master modem IC is designed to work with the ADE8155 slave
modem IC for a complete power-line communication system.
Designed to work with ADE8155 slave PLC modem ICs
Supports
Dynamic routing
Automatic discovery of authenticated devices
Logical address management
In an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) scenario, the
ADE8155 slave modem IC is used to connect the energy meter
to the power line. Then the ADE8165 master PLC modem is
used near the transformer to communicate with multiple
meters on one phase. The power-line communication is
independent on each phase; therefore, three ADE8165 master
PLC modem ICs are used in a PLC module within the
concentrator to read meters on all three phases.
Data link layer
Automatic baud rate negotiation
Up to 63-byte packet support
Physical layer
CPFSK modulation
Choice of two frequency bands
Carrier frequencies: 105.5 kHz and 118.7 kHz
Carrier frequencies: 74.9 kHz and 84.2 kHz
Up to 800 bps on a 1-phase network and 2400 bps on a
3-phase network
Zero-crossing synchronized receive/transmit
6-byte physical address for logical address assignment
A UART communication interface is supported.
