Powerline Communication Chip

Infineon's powerline communication chip provides robust communication powerline infrastructure

Image of Infineon's Powerline Communication ChipThe Infineon CY8CPLC10 is an integrated powerline communication (PLC) chip with the powerline modem PHY and powerline network protocol stack on single chip. This chip provides robust communication between different nodes on a powerline.

The CY8CPLC20 also offers Infineon's revolutionary PSoC technology that enables system designers to integrate multiple functions, like energy measurement, user interface, or LCD, on the same chip in addition to powerline modem PHY and network protocol.
