Compliance to Local Regulations: Enthusiastic support for green electronics has resulted in
increasing regulation (CENELEC, FCC, ARIB, etc.), which can substantially impact smart-grid and
other PLC-based applications. Developers need tools to not only ensure that devices meet such
regulations but also to help speed compliance testing and approval to minimize any delays to market.

regulations but also to help speed compliance testing and approval to minimize any delays to market.
Texas Instruments (TI) eases development with its flexible PLC development platform. The PLC modem
hardware tool comprises separate analog front end (AFE), MCU and docking station modules. Modularity
allows developers to easily adjust a system’s hardware capabilities to match the various PLC modem
specifications without impacting other areas of the design. For example, in addition to PRIME and G3
standards support, TI is supporting a proprietary, fully-programmable OFDM-based system with the

library, which allows developers to further improve efficiency by tuning performance and
robustness for specific environmental factors or, if required, quickly define a custom OFDM
implementation with configurable frequency band, number of data tones, etc. These improvements can
be made independently of protocol and application software. Once the design is completed, developers
can cost-reduce the various modules into a single hardware component.

The PLC modem software (plcSUITE
™
) is delivered as a powerful framework aimed at enabling
developers to quickly develop and test robust PLC implementations. The flexibility of the platform allows
developers to separate the modulation implementation, protocol design and application development from
each other. The platform also utilizes a graphical user interface (GUI) for easy visualization and tuning of

each other. The platform also utilizes a graphical user interface (GUI) for easy visualization and tuning of
key PLC modem performance parameters.
