Reference design for wireless optical comms
A new technology from Texas Instruments dramatically cuts the cost and complexity of bringing the high-speed datarates of optical networking to end users.
PowerConnect solutions leverage the real-time performance and cost-efficiency of TI's F28x controllers, making the benefits of reliable high-speed PLC affordable to a much wider range of applications than those supported by competing products.
Based on TI's digital signal processor (DSP) technology, F28x controllers offer a unique combination of 150MIPS of 32bit control-optimised performance, system integration and microcontroller-like ease of use.
Unlike conventional wired data networks that use dedicated transmission li
