Flexible PLC System On Chip Platform for emerging Smart Grid applications
STMicroelectronics has developed a unique flexible and scalable power line communication System-On-Chip (SOC) platform which may be easily “shaped” in terms of modulation schemes and communication protocol stack, while optimizing at the same time power consumption and system cost. The new platform will be described in details, focusing on specific ST product implementations compliant with major smart metering standards such as IEC 61334-5-1, SITRED, PRIME and others.
