Broadcom’s BCM60321 is the industry’s first 40nm single chip monolithic HomePlug AV and IEEE1901 PLC chipset. Functionality includes:
High Levels of Integration: combining analog and digital front end with line driver, modem and memory in small 9mm 76 pin QFN style package for a true single chip PLC solution.
HomePlug AV 1.1 and IEEE 1901 compliant: resides on 200Mbs physical layer.
Small Form Factor: entire PLC modem design size of 51mm x 38mm is possible.
Low Power Consumption: modems consume less than 2.5 Watts of power when on and less than 0.5W on standby.
Intelligent Switching: provides repeating, channel bonding, failover and load balancing for layer-2 in multi-mode home networks.
Fully Managed Network Functionality; supports remote network management and diagnostics for ISP deployments.
Broadcom’s BCM60321 is HomePlug AV 1.1 certified and IEEE 1901 compliant for high speed Powerline Communications. HomePlug AV is a technology standard designed to provide a 200 Mbps class powerline network.
Broadcom is a sponsor member of HomePlug Powerline Alliance, the organization responsible for establishing powerline standards and testing devices for compliance and interoperability.
