HD Quality Entertainment Design Over Home Electrical Wires

SPiDCOM Technologies, provider of powerline communication System-on-Chips (SoC), have rolled out the SPR300-AV Pass-Through Reference Design, based on the SPC300 HomePlug AV SoC, embedding an ARM processor.

The reference design is a powerline to Ethernet bridge enabling whole-house HD quality entertainment over home electrical wires, with an integrated noise filter to optimize performance and an integrated socket that leaves the electrical outlet available to plug any other appliance.

The reference design is based on the SPC300 HomePlug AV SoC. This open platform embeds an ARM9 processor . The SPR300-AV has a modular approach for a quick integration by product manufacturers. The digital part, including the SPC300 SoC, fits into a small 30 X 65 mm module, which then plugs into the power supply mother board. SPiDCOM provides all the hardware, software and manufacturing documentation required to begin production of a SPR300-AV bridge.
