HCPL-800J Reference AFE for DSP56F801 based Powerline Modem

The HCPL-800J AFE reference design provides the complete interface function between the powerline and a Motorola DSP56F801 hybrid controller running powerline communication software available from Motorola. The AFE circuit is primarily designed for a FSK modem operating on frequencies 105/115 Khz however it may also be easily modified for use with other frequencies up to a maximum of 500Khz. Since dangerously high voltages are present on the AFE application board, it is strongly recommendation to enclose the AFE board into an insulated enclosure before connecting to main's voltages.
