Maxim MAX2982: High-Speed Powerline Transceiver Ensures Reliable Broadband Powerline Communications in Industrial Environments
Industry's First Automotive-/Industrial-Grade, HomePlug 1.0-Compliant Powerline Modem
Maxim Integrated Products introduces the MAX2982, the first broadband, HomePlug® 1.0-compliant, powerline communications transceiver for harsh industrial environments. The MAX2982 is highly integrated and offers significant design flexibility. An enhanced “Robust” mode provides a receiver that operates at -1dB signal-to-noise (SNR) to ensure reliable communications in the presence of noise. The device operates from -40°C to +105°C and is qualified under AEC-Q100-Rev-G for harsh applications. The MAX2982 is an easy-to-use,industrial, broadband powerline communications solution for automation and control, remote monitoring, energy management, wireless base-station control and monitoring, and local area networking (LANs).
