LM1893N Carrier-Current Transceiver RH IC DIP-18

Description

LM1893N Carrier-Current Transceiver RH IC DIP-18 The LM1893N is a bipolar carrier-current transceiver IC that uses building AC power mains as the communications medium for half-duplex serial data links. It implements a current-controlled oscillator whose output is shaped to a low-RFI sinusoid, and the chip provides the on-chip drive needed to couple an FSK carrier onto a power-line coupling transformer and through a coupling capacitor to the AC wiring. In transmit mode the device FSK-modulates a 50–300 kHz carrier under control of baseband data; an internal automatic-level-control plus a robust output amplifier produce a controlled current into the tank/coupling network so the line sees a sinusoidal carrier with limited distortion. In receive mode the input from the coupling transformer passes a band-limited, Norton-style limiter and a PLL demodulator; an impulse-noise integrator and offset-cancel loop recover clean digital edges for the host controller. The LM1893N is intended as the interface between digital controllers (microcontrollers/COPSTM) and the power line, enabling modest-rate serial links (hundreds to a few thousand baud) with strong impulse-noise immunity. The device is designed so external discrete components (transformer, coupling cap, loop-filter, impulse filter) let designers trade sensitivity, data rate, and noise rejection for their application.
