Description
Based on the ST7570 power line networking
system-on-chip, this demonstration kit embeds all
the functions required for a “turn-key” power line
communication network: the ST7570 modem
board, the AC power supply (based on the
ALTAIR4-900 chip) and the USB port to connect
the kit to a PC.
The typical application environment consists of
two or more EVALKITST7570-1 kits connected to
an AC mains, with each kit being controlled by a
PC running the ST7570 GUI software.
