CY8CPLC10-28PVXI

Overview

The CY8CPLC10-28PVXI is a fixed-function Powerline Communication (PLC) network controller and processor IC manufactured by Infineon Technologies. It integrates a powerline FSK physical layer transceiver with an M8C core processor to enable bidirectional half-duplex communication over AC and DC power lines. The device operates within a voltage range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V and supports a maximum baud rate of 2400 Bit/s. It features a 24 MHz clock frequency and is housed in a PG-SSOP-28 package with Ni/Pd/Au lead finishes. The component is designed for applications requiring reliable data transmission via existing electrical infrastructure without additional wiring.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a dedicated powerline FSK PHY with an M8C microcontroller core for combined processing and communication capabilities.
• Enables bidirectional half-duplex communication over existing AC and DC power line infrastructure.
• Supports FCC and CENELEC regulatory compliance for global market deployment.
• Includes integrated LED driver support for status indication and control functions.

Applications

• Smart metering systems utilizing power line carrier communication
• Home automation and building control networks
• Industrial equipment monitoring and control via power lines

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Infineon documentation to confirm package type, temperature range, and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB footprint for the SSOP-28 package. Confirm that the Ni/Pd/Au lead finish meets the assembly process requirements for peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed-function PLC solution is required rather than a programmable SoC. It is suitable for designs needing integrated PHY and MCU functionality in a single package. Consider the 2400 Bit/s baud rate limit for bandwidth requirements. Verify that the 4.75 V to 5.25 V operating voltage aligns with the system power supply design. Evaluate the SSOP-28 package size constraints against the available board space.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Infineon CY8CPLCxx family of Powerline Communication controllers. These devices are engineered to simplify PLC implementation by combining analog front-end and digital processing. The CY8CPLC10 variant specifically targets fixed-function applications, offering a cost-effective alternative to fully programmable PSoC devices for standard power line communication tasks.
