This solution is developed for low bandwidth powerline communication. The CY3274 PLC high voltage (HV) PLC development kit provides the capability to develop an appli- cation on the Cypress CY8CPLC20 device that can transmit and receive data over high voltage (110 V to 240 V AC) powerlines.
Page 6
The powerline network protocol layer and the physical layer FSK modem are implemented on the CY8CPLC20 chip. The chip also contains a PSoC core in addition to the PLC core. The CY3274 board contains the CY8CPLC20 device along with the power amplification and coupling circuit for communicating on high voltage (110-240 V AC) powerlines.
Note To evaluate this kit, a second high voltage PLC kit is required. The compatible kits are CY3274 (this kit) and CY3272 High Voltage PLC Evaluation Kit, with EZ-Color. For information on these kits, visit http://www.cypress.com/go/CY3274...

■ CY3274 PLC Development Board Functional Overview The CY3274 PLC development board is designed as a product development platform for low bandwidth (up to 2400 bps) powerline communication. The user-written application running on the CY8CPLC20 generates the data. The PLC core encapsulates this data into a PLC network packet.
