It is ideal for driving low-impedance lines that require up to 1 A into reactive loads. The integrated receiver is able to detect signals down to 20 μVRMS and is capable of a wide range of gain options to adapt to varying input signal conditions. This monolithic integrated circuit provides high reliability in demanding powerline communications ...
