ISL15110 Features The ISL15110 is a dual port differential line driver developed for
Power Line Communication (PLC) Multi Input Multi Output
(MIMO) applications. MIMO PLC requires transmission on one or
two pairs of Phase, Neutral, and Ground wires. The device is
designed to drive heavy line loads, while maintaining a high level
of linearity required in OFDM PLC modem links. With 15.5dBm of
total MIMO transmit signal power (12.5dBm per each pair) into a
50О© line load, the drivers deliver -50dB average MTPR distortion
across the output spectrum. Dual differential drivers Each of the two differential drivers has a control pin used to
enable/disable its differential output. These controls allow for
independent TDM operation of the two differential drivers, as
required in ITU-T MIMO G.hn and related standard based PLC
applications. In disable mode, the line driver output maintains a
high impedance characteristic to not affect TDM receive signal
integrity. Enable port control voltage <0.7V 50MHz broadband PLC G.hn Enable/disable control pins for TDM operation -50dBc average MTPR distortion Single supply +12V nominal operation Enhanced surge current handling capability Thermally enhanced 20 Ld QFN package Disable port control voltage >1.7V Applications Home networking over power lines ITU-T G.hn (G.9963) MIMO PLC The ISL15110 includes an external IBIAS pin for quiescent
current flexibility. Grounding the pin in single supply designs
gives the nominal currents in the “Electrical Specifications” table
on page 6, while inserting a resistor from pin to ground can be
used to scale down the quiescent current for both ports.
The ISL15110 is available in the thermally-enhanced 20 Ld QFN
and is specified for operation over the full -40В°C to +85В°C …
