Cypress bears no responsibility for any consequences that may result from the improper or
hazardous use of this board.
This board is for evaluation only and should not be directly used in an end user application.
Introduction to the Cypress PLC Solution
Cypress’s Powerline Communication Solution (PLC) enables transmission of command and control
data over high voltage and low voltage powerlines. This solution is developed for low bandwidth
powerline communication.
The CY3272 PLC High Voltage (HV) Evaluation Board demonstrates the ability of the Cypress PLC
family of devices to transmit data at 2400 bps over high voltage (110 V to 240 V AC) powerlines.
This guide includes:
■
■
Use the board with expert technical supervision. There is high voltage (110 V, 240 V AC) power
on the board.
Accidental human contact with high voltage is dangerous.
The capacitors on the board can be energized even after disconnecting the board from the main
power supply. Be careful to not touch any parts on the board immediately after you disconnect the
main power supply.
Safety plastic casing is provided on the top of HV section. Do not touch the protected area during
live operation for debugging, probing, or any other purpose.
Chapter 1 provides a brief overview of the Cypress PLC solution. It describes the contents of the
CY3272 evaluation kit and lists additional requirements to run the example projects, which are
included as part of the PLC evaluation kit.
Chapter 2 gives a detailed hardware description of the PLC HV Board. It describes features of the
HV board such as manual addressing, connection of the USB-I2C bridge, and jumper settings.
CAUTION: High Voltage (Risk of Electric Shock)
All work in powerline communications must be done with extreme care.
Caution must be exercised when using power supplies or power related equipment.
