R9A06G061GNP#AA0 is a narrow-band power line communication modem IC that consists of an analog front-end (AFE), DSP, and MCU. The high-performance DSP performs OFDM modulation and demodulation signal processing (PHY layer), and the MCU handles protocol conversion to/from the host interface. R9A06G061 enables high-speed and stable long-distance communication in Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks. Especially, R9A06G061 has improved direct drive capability in order to expand its use in DC power supply system applications. Applications include high-speed & long-distance power line communication units for AC line/DC lines, central vacuum cleaners, metered electric vehicle charging stations, network systems for building automation, and smoke detectors for commercial buildings.
