CY3272 Cypress High Voltage Powerline Communication Evaluation Kit Guide, Doc. # 001-55381 Rev. *C
The powerline network protocol layer and physical layer FSK modem are implemented on the
CY8CPLC10 chip. The power amplification and coupling circuits are built using discrete compo-
nents. The CY3272 board contains the CY8CPLC10 device along with the power amplification and
coupling circuit for communicating on high voltage (110 to 240 V AC) powerlines. For a detailed
description of the design parameters for the circuit, refer to the application note
Communication Board Design Analysis -
The CY8CPLC10 device is controlled by an external host microcontroller via an I
evaluate this kit, an external host must be created. The first option is to use a PC to install and run
the Cypress PLC Control Panel GUI, which is included with this kit. The PC interfaces to the CY3272
board via the USB-I2C Bridge board that is included with this kit. Steps for setting up this system are
provided in the quick start guide, which is provided in the kit.
The second option is to use an external microcontroller that is running a host application. The appli-
cation note "Using CY8CPLC10 in Powerline Communication (PLC) Applications" provides an
example project that can be programmed on a PSoC microcontroller board (in this case, the
CY3210-PSoCEVAL1) and explains how to interface it to the CY3272 board. This application note is
provided with this kit.
Note To evaluate this kit, a second high voltage PLC kit is required. The compatible kits are CY3272
(this kit), CY3274 High Voltage PLC Development Kit, and CY3276 High Voltage PLC Development
Kit with EZ-Color. For information on these kits, visit http://www.cypress.com/?id=2330&rtID=110.
