The MAX20340 is a universal bidirectional DC powerline communication (PLC) management IC with a 166.7kbps maximum bit rate. The device is capable of a maximum of 1.2A charge current.

The MAX20340 features a slave detection circuit that flags an interrupt to the system when the PLC master detects the presence of a PLC slave on the powerline. This function allows the system to remain in a low-power state until a slave device is connected.

Many of the features of the MAX20340, such as master/slave mode, I²C address, dual/single PLC slave mode, and PLC slave address, are pin configurable.

The device is available in a 9-bump, 0.4mm pitch, 1.358mm x 1.358mm wafer-level package (WLP).

Product Details

The MAX20340 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested PCB that evaluates the MAX20340 bidirectional powerline communication (PLC) management integrated circuit. The EV kit obtains power from an external power source or the MAX32625PICO microcontroller that contains the firmware necessary to use the EV kit GUI program. Installed with two MAX20340s (one Master and one Slave), the EV kit features a master/slave mode PLC with flexible configurations. The EV kit ships with jumpers installed and supply voltages set to typical operating values.
