AFE031: AFE031

Part Number: AFE031
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AFE032

Hi Team,

 

I am adding a line to the TI web site

 

http://www.ti.com/solution/power_line_communication_modem

 

I wish to know if I can use this evaluation board to transmit and receive video over AC line.

Thanks,

Shlomi

  • Hi Shlomi,

    Transmission of video data typically requires gigahertz of bandwidth. The AFE032 only has a bandwidth of 670kHz, so it would not be suited for this task.
  • Can you please find out if there is a PLC chip that can?

    BTW - I don't need Gigahertz of BW, I need 8MHz BW. It is not HD.

  • Hello Shlomi,

    To add to Zak's post the AFE03x products are narrowband PLC devices that works at lower frequencies (3–500 kHz), lower data rates (up to hundreds of kbit/s), and has longer range (up to several kilometers), which can be extended using repeaters. There is also broadband PLC which works at higher frequencies (1.8-250 MHz), high data rates (up to hundreds of Mbit/s) and is used in shorter-range applications. However, we do not have broadband PLC devices.
