EVALST7590-1

EVALST7590-1 is a evaluation board for ST7590 power line transceiver. Board integrates isolated switched mode power supply providing 13V and 4.5V supplies to the board, power line interface providing PLC signal coupling to the mains, isolated or non isolated modem section based on ST7590 PLC modem, isolated external controller interface providing USB/UART/SPI connection and JTAG port. ST7590 is the first complete narrowband OFDM power line communication system on chip made using a multi power technology with state of the art VLSI CMOS lithography. The ST7590 is based on dual core architecture to assure outstanding communication performance with a very high level of flexibility and programmability for either open standard or fully customised implementations.

• High performing DSP engine with embedded turn key firmware for OFDM modulation
• Full PRIME compliant PHY
• Convolutional coding and Viterbi decoding
• Host controller UART/SPI interface, I2C/SPI external data memory interface
• On chip 128bit AES encryption HW block
• Suitable for applications compliant with EN50065 and FCC part 15 specifications

Applications

Communications & Networking, Metering

Warnings

There is no protection against high voltage accidental human contact. Due to the high voltage (220V AC) present on the parts which are not isolated, special care should be taken for safe operation.
