The SIG100 IC merges both data and power over the power line, eliminating the need for control and data wires. The SIG100 is designed to meet the new DC-LIN ISO 17987-8, providing a seamless interface with LIN-BUS networks.

SIG100 powerline communication IC
Description

The SIG100 IC modulates UART/LIN bytes over the DC powerline (DC-BUS).  The SIG100 is an advanced generation of the widely used SIG60 device. Both devices use a unique multiplex digital signaling technology that overcomes the powerline noisy environment at bitrates up to 115.2Kbit/s.   A Sleep mode allows low power consumption when the device is not used.

The SIG100 power line UART transceiver reduces wiring in Automotive, Aerospace, Industrial, Lighting, Sensors, Actuators, Battery management systems (BMS), Climate control, Truck-Trailer communication, etc.

Operation

The SIG100 IC operates as a Master-Slaves UART network of multiple SIG100 ICs. Users can define their protocol since there is no limit to the number of UART bytes in a message. Furthermore, the SIG100 operates on any selectable carrier frequency between 5MHz and 30MHz with 100 kHz spacing, allowing multiple independent networks to coexist on a single powerline by using different carrier frequencies for each network.

The Figure below depicts a typical SIG100 network, demonstrating a single byte transmission from a SIG100 TX device to three SIG100 RX devices coupled through a capacitor to the same powerline. Upon detection of a start bit on the  SIG100 TX device HDI pin, a modulated PLC-byte transmission starts.  Then, the modulated PLC-byte is decoded back to a byte-field on SIG100 RX ICs' HDO pin at a fixed latency of ~2.5 bits.
