AMIS49587C5872RG

Overview

The AMIS-49587C5872RG is a single-chip power line carrier (PLC) modem integrated circuit manufactured by onsemi. It integrates a high-voltage PLC transceiver, a baseband processor, and an interface controller to facilitate communication over electrical power lines. The device supports standard PLC protocols for smart metering applications, enabling data transmission across existing power infrastructure without requiring dedicated communication wiring.

Feature Summary

• Integrates high-voltage transceiver with baseband processing capabilities
• Supports direct connection to microcontrollers via parallel or serial interfaces
• Designed for robust operation in noisy power line environments

Applications

• Smart electricity metering systems
• Power line carrier communication modems
• Remote automatic meter reading (AMR) solutions
• Two-way communication in smart grid networks

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C5872RG' against the official onsemi datasheet to confirm package type, temperature range, and tape/reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB footprint and voltage levels before procurement. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest documentation for any obsolescence notices or recommended design changes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fully integrated PLC solution is required for smart meter applications. It eliminates the need for separate transceiver and baseband chips. Verify that the system architecture supports the required interface protocol and that the power line environment matches the device's operational ratings.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AMIS-49587 family of power line communication devices. It is designed to replace discrete PLC solutions, reducing board space and complexity. The family is widely used in utility metering infrastructure for reliable data transmission over AC power lines.

Replacement Considerations

Check for updated revisions within the AMIS-49587 series. No direct pin-compatible substitutes are publicly confirmed in general databases; verify with onsemi for any newer generation PLC controllers.
