Description

Built around the ST7580 power line networking

system-on-chip, this demonstration kit embeds all

the functions required for a “turnkey” power line

communication network: the PLC node based on

the ST7580, the AC power supply (based on the

ALTAIR4-900 chip) and the STM32

microcontroller, to either control the system as a

standalone application or to connect the

EVALKITST7580-1 to an external host.

The typical application environment consists of

two or more EVALKITST7580-1s connected to the

same mains line, each being controlled by a PC

running the ST7580 GUI software.
