IT5000
50 Kbit/s DCSK/CEBus Power Line Communication Modem
Bringing Power To Home Networking
Ideal Solution for Home Automation,
Control and Telemetry Applications.
The IT5000 Power Line Modem is an
advanced, low cost implementation of
ITRAN's DCSK patented technology,
offering a simple solution for both
physical and data link layers. IT5000 is
designed to be compact for maximum
integration using minimal design space.
Reaching bit rates up to 50 Kbit/s, the
IT5000 offers a significant improvement
to the communications speed defined by
the CEBus standard. IT5000 has a
selectable dynamic bit rate.
Superior Reliability
The inherent reliability of DCSK
modulation/detection technique is specifically
designed to withstand colored noise, CW interference,
spectral distortion, impedance modulation, short noise-bursts
and pulses on AC power lines. An optimized error correction
code is implemented in the IT5000.
DCSK Technology
The DCSK patented modulation technique is the first to reach superb
reliability over noisy power lines. Implementation of DCSK in ITRAN's
ASIC's provides a cost-effective and reliable solution for Home
IT5000
50 Kbit/s DCSK/CEBus Power Line Communication Modem
Automation, Control and Telemetry applications. The advantages offered
by DCSK modulation/detection technique include:
!
Resistance to typical noise and interference over power lines.
!
Very low gate count and mixed signal implementation on a
single chip.
!
Low accuracy input clock requirement.
Backward Compatibility
ITRAN IT5000 allows optional backward
compatibility for developers wishing to design
PLC products, capable of seamlessly integrating
with CEBus. In its CEBus Physical detection
mode, IT5000 performs as a superior CEBus
receiver, inheriting part of the DCSK
performance.
