DATASHEET ISL15100 FN8577 Rev 0.00 Single Port, PLC Differential Line Driver September 19, 2013 The ISL15100 is a single port differential line driver developed Features for Power Line Communication (PLC) applications. The device Single differential driver is designed to drive heavy line loads while maintaining the high level of linearity required in OFDM PLC modem links. With 100MHz Broadband PLC G.hn, EOC, HomePlug AV2 15.5dBm of total transmit signal power into 100 line load, Control pins for enable/disable and supply current selection the driver achieves -43dB average MTPR distortion across the High output impedance when disabled for TDM operation output spectrum up to 86MHz. -43dBc average MTPR distortion at full line power The ISL15100 has two bias current control pins (C0, C1) to allow for four power settings (disable, low, medium, high). In Single +12V or bipolar 6V nominal supplies disable mode, the line driver outputs maintain a high High surge current handling capability impedance in the presence of high receive signal amplitude, so it doesnt affect TDM receive signal integrity. Applications The ISL15100 is available in the thermally-enhanced 16 Ld Power Line Communication differential driver QFN and is specified for operation over the full -40C to +85C Pin compatible upgrade to ISL1571IRZ ambient temperature range.
