MLKHN1500AM

Specialized Overview

The MLKHN1500AM is a single-chip IEEE 1901 compliant High-Definition Power Line Communication (HD-PLC) interface. It integrates a Physical layer (PHY), Media Access Control (MAC), 128Mb SDRAM, and a fully integrated Analog Front-End (AFE) with high-precision A/D and D/A converters. The device operates on 1.2V and 3.3V supply voltages and is housed in a 238-LBGA package measuring 18x15 mm.

Specialized Feature Summary

• Integrates PHY, MAC, 128Mb SDRAM, and Analog Front-End on a single chip
• Complies with IEEE 1901 standards for broadband power line communications
• Includes high-precision analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog data converters

Specialized Applications
