Data sheet

DESCRIPTION

The dLAN 200 AVmodule 6400 is an integrated device for transmitting and receiving data over

the power line. It holds all functions necessary for the easy creation of HomePlug AV network

devices.

The host interface can be configured to run in two alternative modes:

 PHY Mode

As MII PHY interface (IEEE 802.3u 1995, paragraph 22) for interconnection with micro-

controllers or Ethernet MAC controllers,

 Host/DTE Mode

As MII host/DTE interface (IEEE 802.3u 1995, paragraph 22) for connecting to an Ethernet

PHY.

FEATURES

• up to 200 Mbps data rate on the power

line

• 750 m range via coaxial cable

• 400 m range via telephone line

• 300 m range via power cable

• Fully compatible with the HomePlug AV

standard

• Open API for status information and

device configuration

• Quality of service (QoS)

• 128 bit AES network encryption

• Fully integrated HomePlug AV power line

networking controller with integrated MII

(MAC or PHY mode) interfaces

• INT6400 Chipset

dLAN 200 AVmodule 6400 Devolo provides two different variants: dLAN 200 AVmodule 6400: connector male 90°. dLAN 200 AVmodule 6400 horizontal: connector male 180°. This document will mainly refer to the standard variant “dLAN 200 AVmodule 6400” for simplicity reasons.

dLAN 200 AVmodule 6400 1 Integration of the dLAN 200 AVmodule 6400 into Existing Products HomePlug devices based on dLAN 200 AVmodule 6400 can have their designs partitioned into the major sections shown in figure 2. The HomePlug add-in consists of two sections: configuration and status information is available using the IEEE 802.3 MDI interface. • MII HOST/DTE (MAC) mode: In this mode the module behaves like an Ethernet host/DTE device using an MII interface.

dLAN 200 AVmodule 6400 5 Application Examples 5.1 dLAN 200 AVmodule 6400 based Wallplug HomePlug Device The recommended add-in circuitry is shown below. Coupling capacitors and the secondary of the coupling transformer form a high-pass filter that allows the Powerline communications signal to pass, but blocks 50/60Hz AC sine wave. The resistors parallel to the capacitors serve to discharge the coupling capacitors when the device is removed from the AC line. Fig.

The PHY controller drives MII_RXD[3:0] and the MAC core receives MII_RXD[3:0]. MII_RXD[3:0] transition synchronously with respect to MII_RXCLK. For each MII_RXCLK period in which MII_RXDV is asserted, MII_RXD[3:0] is valid. MII_RXD0 is the least-significant bit. The PHY controller tristates MII_RXD[3:0] in isolate mode.
