PARIS, February 16, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- SPiDCOM Technologies, the unique provider of no-limits powerline communication System-on-Chips (SoC), announces the introduction of the SPR300-AV Pass-Through Reference Design.
The reference design is a powerline to Ethernet bridge enabling whole-house HD quality entertainment over the home electrical wires, with an integrated noise filter to optimize performance and an integrated socket that leaves the electrical outlet available to plug any other appliance. Easy, the set-up of the network is done simply by pushing a button.
The reference design is based on the SPC300 no-limits HomePlug AV SoC, which received a CES 2010 Innovation Award (Las Vegas, USA, January 2010). This open platform embeds an ARM9 processor dedicated to added-value customer applications. SPiDCOM provides the Linux firmware and the development tools, enabling complete end-product differentiation. No extra processor is needed on SPR300-AV, resulting in substantial BoM savings (up to 30%).
The SPR300-AV has a modular approach for a quick integration by product manufacturers. The digital part, including the SPC300 SoC, fits into a small 30 X 65 mm module, which then plugs into the power supply mother board. SPiDCOM provides all the hardware, software and manufacturing documentation required to begin production of a SPR300-AV bridge.
The SPR300-AV Pass-Through Reference Design will be presented on SPiDCOM stand (Hall 13, D20, HomePlug Community Pavilion) during CeBIT 2010.
