Description

The STEVAL-IHP003V1 module is a PLM (power

line modem)-based demonstration application

intended as an evaluation platform for the ST7540

FSK power line transceiver and the

STM32F103C8 ARM-based 32-bit

microcontroller.

The module is dedicated to pay television

management, SmartPlug applications, home

appliance networks and various types of remote-

controlled power distribution.

For example, it can be used in hotels to act as an

interface between a set-top box in hotel rooms,

and a service server located at the hotel

reception. Communication is achieved through

the AC power line, by impressing a 132.5 kHz

carrier signal on the AC wiring system with

frequency shift keying modulation.

The module provides two ports, one dedicated to

the power line connection and the other to a

server connection.

On the top of the module housing, there is a two-

color LED to indicate the operating status of the

module.

In addition to the ST7540 power line transceiver

and STM32F103C8 microcontroller, the module

features an ST3232C for RS-232 interfacing and

a SPAC265-3W AC-DC switched-mode power

supply.
