The JP167-PLCDCPOCKITZ kit enables quick prototyping and demonstration of an LED lighting system controlled over the DC power lines. PLC makes it possible to transmit control signals over power lines, thereby reducing the amount of wiring needed in the system and correspondingly lowering the associated costs and installation time. The Renesas PLC solution provides flexible protocol and frequency band control for varying countries thanks to its CPU + DSP dual core and allows long-distance communication of over 1km without a relay. Communication speeds up to 1Mbps are supported, and the AES128 cryptographic hardware engine provides high-level security if needed.

Features
