NCN49599MNTWG

Overview

The NCN49599MNTWG is a Power Line Communications (PLC) modem integrated circuit manufactured by onsemi. It integrates an ARM Cortex-M0 core for protocol processing and supports data rates up to 4.8 kb/s at a carrier frequency of 48 MHz. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 3 V to 3.6 V, with a typical operating current of 40 mA. It features SPI and UART interfaces for host connectivity and functions across an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. The component is housed in a QFN-56 surface-mount package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates an ARM Cortex-M0 processor core for embedded control and protocol handling.
• Supports power line communication modulation at 48 MHz with data rates up to 4.8 kb/s.
• Provides flexible digital interface options including SPI and UART connections.

Applications

• Smart metering systems requiring PLC connectivity
• Home automation controllers utilizing power line signaling
• Industrial monitoring devices interfacing via power lines

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix MNTWG against official onsemi documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging and moisture sensitivity classification. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the QFN-56 package. Confirm that the 3.3 V logic levels align with the host microcontroller requirements before integration into the design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a combined PLC modem and microcontroller solution is required to reduce board space. The NCN49599 series is suitable for applications needing moderate data throughput over power lines. Compare the 4.8 kb/s speed against higher-speed PLC alternatives if bandwidth requirements exceed this limit. Verify the QFN-56 thermal performance for the intended enclosure.

Part Context

This part belongs to the NCN49599 family of network controller ICs designed for power line carrier applications. It serves as a system-on-chip solution combining physical layer modulation with application-level processing. The MNTWG suffix typically denotes the reel packaging format used for automated assembly processes.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible replacements within the NCN4959x series. Verify functional equivalence if substituting with other PLC modems, as interface protocols and core architectures may differ significantly between manufacturers.
