By: Yitran/Tower The IT700 PLC module is a small sized, highly robust, low cost solution suited for infinite number of applications in the command and control applications such as Remote Metering Management (AMI/AMM) and smart home/building applications. IT700 is HomePlug Command and Control ready. According to Techno Systems Research, the market application space for such command and control modules is estimated to grow from 2.5M units in 2005 to over 45.2M units by 2010. IT700 PLC transceiver includes an extended 8051 micro controller unit (MCU) core and full analog front end (AFE) module, enabling enables a high level of code efficiency and high speed operation. IT700 includes the patented and award winning elements of its predecessor, IT800, and excels its predecessor in performance. It is fully backward-compatible with the IT800 series. Avner Matmor, Yitran’s Co-Founder and CEO noted, “IT700 opens the door to many applications which have been waiting for a robust PLC solution and at a cost that will allow them to combine competiveness both in performance and affordability. Custom products, such as IT700, are made possible through highly sophisticated architectural design of the product combined with best-of-breed manufacturing technology. We are proud to partner with Tower, whose reputation for excellence is known world-wide.” “We are pleased to take part in Yitran’s success through the manufacturing of their custom power line communication designs,” said Dr. Avi Strum, Vice President and General Manager of Specialty Products at Tower Semiconductor. “Custom products for high-end applications bring out the best that our technology has to offer, enabling high-profile business opportunities for both companies.” The inclusion of Yitran's patented DCSK (Differential Code Shift Keying) spread spectrum modulation technique in the transceiver core, enables extremely robust communication with data rates of 7.5Kbps. The product complies with worldwide regulations (FCC, ARIB and CENELEC bands).
