TPS62240DRVR

Power Line Communication Winning Solution

Texas Instruments Power Line Communication Winning Solution provides the flexibility of a single hardware and software design that can support multiple standards and a single global platform, reducing research and development costs and speeding time to market. This TI winning solution allows designers to easily create PLC modem systems that provide the best-performing communication platform for today's Smart Grid networks. Modern PLC networks utilize OFDM (orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing) modulation techniques to increase data throughput rates and reliability in inherently noisy environments such as electric grids. This Power Line Communication solution includes a TMS320F2806x Piccolo microcontroller that provides the power of the C28x core and CLA, couple with integrated control peripherals. The solution also features a fully integrated high-output Tx/Rx analog front end, a TPS3828-33 processor supervisory circuit, a TPS62240 step-down converter, and an SN74LVC2G07 dual buffer/driver.

TPS62240 Step Down DC-DC Converters

Texas Instruments TPS62240 high-efficiency synchronous step-down DC-DC converters are optimized for battery-powered portable applications. These converters provide up to 300mA output current from a single Li-Ion cell and are ideal for powering portable applications like mobile phones and other portable equipment. With an input voltage range of 2V to 6V, the device supports applications powered by Li-Ion batteries with an extended voltage range, two- and three-cell alkaline, 3.3V, and 5V input voltage rails. The Texas Instruments TPS62240 converters operate at 2.25MHz fixed switching frequency and enter Power Save Mode operation at light load currents to maintain high efficiency over the entire load current range.
