HCPL-810J PLC Powerline DAA IC

The HCPL-810J optocoupler is a galvanically isolated Powerline Data Access Arrangement (DAA)  IC. It provides the key features of isolation, Tx line driver and Rx amplifier as required in a powerline modem application.

Used together with a simple LC coupling circuit, the HCPL-810J offers a highly integrated, cost effective Analogue Front End (AFE) solution. Optical coupling technology provides very high isolation mode rejection, facilitating excellent EMI and EMC performance. Application robustness is enhanced by the inherent properties of opto-isolation devices, to effectively block the transfer of damaging surge transients.

Excellent transmitter performance is achieved with the use of a high efficiency, low distortion line driver stage. Transmitter robustness is further enhanced with integrated load detection and over-temperature protection functions.

The HCPL-810J is designed to work with various transceiver ICs and significantly simplify the implementation of a powerline modem.
