The ST7590 is an integrated circuit (IC) component that is specifically designed for power-line communication (PLC) applications. It offers a reliable and robust platform for system designers to implement advanced smart grid solutions, smart metering, and home automation systems.
One of the key features of the ST7590 is its high-performance PLC modem. It supports the latest industry standards such as the G3-PLC and PRIME specifications, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices and systems in the power grid infrastructure. The modem is capable of achieving high data rates, up to 300 kbps, enabling efficient and fast communication between different nodes within the power grid.
The ST7590 also incorporates advanced signal processing algorithms that enhance the communication reliability in noisy and harsh power-line environments. With features like adaptive orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (A-OFDM) and forward error correction (FEC), the IC optimizes the transmission quality and efficiently handles interferences.
Another notable feature is the integrated power supply unit (PSU), which allows direct connection to low-voltage AC or DC power sources without the need for additional external components. The PSU can handle a wide input voltage range, enabling flexibility in various application scenarios
