Get this DVKThis chip delivers HomePlug GreenPHY and UART and SPI interface capabilities
The YELLOW Beet family of universal powerline modules is based on Qualcomm’s QCA7005 chip and uses the HomePlug GreenPHY standard. Though designed for e-mobility (EVSE and PEV), YELLOW Beet is also perfect for smart grid, smart meter, IoT and other long-range communication applications. Integrated external power coupling and zero-cross detection solutions make YELLOW Beet a convenient off-the-shelf module for EV applications.
