Solar power line communication reference design

Overview

TopologyBuck Converter
Input voltage12 V
Output 13.3 V
IC revisionE1

Description

This reference design shows how to implement a Power Line Communication (PLC) for HV DC and AC lines. In particular this design has been done to show communication from multiple solar panesl to a data agregator connected or embedded to the string inverter input.

Features

OOK Modulation with 4 selectable modulating frequencies: 125kHz, 500kHz, 2MHz, 5MHz
Built-in current limit protection, and reverse polarity protection using TI eFuse
Space reduction trough the usage of the same communication line for both receiving and transmitting
BoosterPack design compatible with multiple microcontroller famlies like MSPM0 and C2000

Typical applications

  • Factory and Building Automation: PLC, Industrial PC, Elevator Control, HVAC Control
  • Motor Drive: AC Inverters, VF Drives, Servos, Field Actuators
  • Aftermarket Automotive: Camera
  • Grid Infrastructure: Advanced Metering Infrastructure
  • General Purpose Wide VIN Power Supplies
