Description

The GW3010 is a comprehensive system-on-chip (SoC) solution that integrates all the necessary components of a power line communication (PLC) modem into a single chip. It includes a PLC modem with AFE (Analog Front End), PHY (Physical Layer), MAC (Media Access Control), and upper layers up to IPv6. With its advanced OFDM line coding and proprietary algorithms, the modem supports multi-mode modulation, ensuring reliable data transmission over power line networks. This highly integrated chip fulfills all the silicon requirements for a PLC modem, offering a compact and efficient solution.

The GW3010 supports multiple implementations, including ITU-T G.9903 (G3-PLC), ITU-T G.9904 (PRIME), IEEE P1901.2, and IEC 61334 (S-FSK). It integrates a microcontroller with internal SRAM and Flash memory. Additionally, it provides SPI, I2C, and UART interfaces, along with standard features like timers, GPIO, and interrupt capabilities.

Typical Applications

  • Smart grid
  • Home automation
  • Building automation
  • Industrial automation
  • Internet of things (IoT)
  • Street lighting
