Overview
Description
The R9A06G037 is a high-performance Narrow Band Power Line Communication (NB-PLC) modem IC. It integrates a high-performance DSP core and an MCU core (Arm® Cortex®-M3). The DSP core mainly handles the PLC PHY layer protocol and the Arm core handles the upper layer protocol. R9A06G037 can support a variety of PLC protocols such as G3-PLC (CENELEC, ARIB, and FCC), PRIME, and many others.

PLC Modem ICs and Line Drivers
... current (DC) power lines where the application distances are relatively limited, sufficient communication performance can be achieved even without line drivers. In particular, with the PLC modem R9A06G061, the transmission drive capacity is increased compared to the R9A06G037, for longer high-speed P2P communication with just a PLC modem IC.
