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:

■ Integrated Powerline PHY modem with optimized filters and amplifiers to work with lossy high voltage and low voltage powerlines.

■ Powerline optimized network protocol that supports bidirectional communication with acknowledgement-based signaling.

In case of data packet loss due to bursty noise on the powerline, the transmitter has the capability to retransmit data.

■ The powerline network protocol also supports an 8-bit CRC for error detection and data packet retransmission.

■ A Carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) scheme is built into the network protocol that minimizes collisions between packet transmissions on the powerline and supports multiple masters and reliable communication on a bigger network.
