Bel’s New HomePlug® AV PLC Modules For Embedded Networking or Consumer Electronics Applications
July 14 2009 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Bel Fuse Inc. (NASDAQ:BELFA) (NASDAQ:BELFB), a premier developer
of magnetic-based solutions for high-speed networking and computer
applications, today announced the availability of their newest
Powerline Communications (PLC) transceiver modules (PN#
0804-5000-17 and 0804-5000-18) to support HomePlug� AV standards.
The low-power modules notably integrate Intellon�s third-generation
INT6400/INT1400 HomePlug AV chip set, along with the majority of
components required for adding HomePlug AV functionality to any
embedded consumer electronics or networking product. Devices
feature a MII (Host and PHY) interface, and easily connect to
embedded systems via the standard 1.27 mm header to further assist
OEMs and ODMs speed time-to-market and minimize BOM costs.
Designed to support the development of HD-grade communication
bridges both to and from the powerline, Bel�s PLC transceiver
modules are well suited for the broadest spectrum of embedded
HomePlug AV applications including High Definition (HD) and
Standard Transmission (SD) video distribution, Internet Protocol
Television (IPTV), Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and backbone
for Wi-Fi, UWB and wireless USB. They are equally appropriate in
higher data rate broadband sharing, shared broadband Internet
access, audio and video streaming, and file sharing
applications.
�Bel is pleased to again be partnering with Intellon to bring
modular solutions to the ever-expanding embedded HomePlug AV
market,� said Lee Hancock, broadband product manager at Bel. �Our
new PLC transceiver modules, incorporating Intellon�s INT6400 IC,
provide the most integrated, cost-effective solution to embed
HomePlug AV into in-home multimedia applications.�
Chris Henningsen, vice president of marketing at Intellon,
stated, �Intellon and Bel are jointly committed to meet customers�
requirements for easy-to-build embedded HomePlug AV applications.
We are confident that the integration of our INT6400/INT1400 chip
set into Bel�s HomePlug AV modules will help shorten product
development and production cycles while ensuring the ultimate in
HomePlug AV functionality.�
The small-footprint, SIP modules are available in vertical or
horizontal configurations and measure 2.776� (L) x 0.238� (W) x
1.249� (H), or 2.776� (L) x 1.142� (W) x 0.293� (H), respectively.
They boast a low DC power requirement of 830 mA from a single 3.3 V
supply and are fully compliant with the HomePlug AV standard to
reliably deliver up to 200 Mbps PHY rate over powerline wiring.
Featuring 128-bit AES link encryption with key management to secure
powerline communications, parts support 1024/256/64/16/8-QAM, QPSK,
BPSK and ROBO modulation schemes. For complete specifications
