SSI Over Powerline Transceiver - QDC10

Datasheet

The QDC10 is a VLSI device for data communication over noisy DC power lines, which therefore eliminates complex wiring and provide quick and simple installation. If required, the device can operate on a single wire bus. It is a complete solution for a multiplex network of commands and data between a wide range of modules in a vehicle such as climate control and temperature sensor, security detectors and immobilizers, audio components, remote operation buttons on the steering wheel, etc. The QDC10 is based on the DC-BUS technology. It comprises a modem, channel coder/decoder (ECC), communication controller to overcome the hostile environment on vehicle battery power lines. A sleep mode reduces the power consumption when there is no activity over the unique multiplexed network.
