Introduction
The Intellon SSC P485 PL Transceiver IC is a highly integrated spread spectrum communication transceiver for implementing low-cost networking products. The SSC P485 contains a Spread Spectrum Carrierä (SSC) transceiver, signal conditioning circuitry, and a simple host interface. A minimum of external circuitry is required to connect the SSC P485 to the DC power line, twisted pair cable, or other communication medium.
The inherent reliability of SSC signaling technology provides substantial improvement in network and communication performance over other low-cost communication methods. The SSC P485 is the ideal basic communications element for a wide variety of low-cost networking applications.

1 |
4MHZ |
4 MHz Clock Out |
4 MHz clock output available for host microcontroller. |
2 |

|
3 |
VSSD |
Digital Ground |
Digital ground reference. |
4 |
XIN |
Crystal Input |
Connected to external crystal to excite the IC’s internal |
|
|
|
oscillator and digital clock. |
5 |
XOUT |
Crystal Output |
Connected to external crystal to excite the IC’s internal |
|
|
|
oscillator and digital clock. |
6 |
VDDD |
Digital Supply |
5.0 VDC ± 10% digital supply voltage with respect to |
|
|
|
VSSD. |
7 |
ILD |
Idle Line Detect |
Digital output, active high. Logic 1 state indicates 10 bit |
|
|
|
times of idle line, logic 0 indicates detection of carrier or |
|
|
|
non-idle line. |
8 |
DI |
Driver Input |
Digital input. After the preamble, a low on DI (SPACE) |
|
|
|
transmits a superior2 state on SO, a high on DI (MARK) |
|
|
|
transmits a superior1 state on SO. |
9 |
RO |
Receiver Output |
Digital output. After the preamble and assuming |
|
|
|
standard polarity: if superior1 state is detected on SI, |
|
|
|
RO will be high (MARK), if superior2 state is detected |
|
|
|
on SI, RO will be low (SPACE). |
10 |
WL |
Word Length |
Digital input. Logic 1 (default, internal pullup) selects |
|
|
|
10-bit frame (START, eight data bits, STOP), logic 0 |
|
|
|
selects 11-bit frame (START, nine data bits, STOP). |
11 |
TS* |
Tristate |
Active low digital output. Enables the external output |
|
|
|
amplifier when driven high. Tri-states the external |
|
|
|
output amplifier when driven low. |
12 |
RST* |
Reset |
Active low digital input. RST* asynchronously forces |
|
|
|
RO and ILD outputs to a high state and TS* to a low |
|
|
|
state. RST* can be asserted anytime during normal |
|
|
|
operation to force the reset state. RST* must be active |
|
|
|
(low) for 1 μsec after VDDD and VDDA stabilize and the |
|
|
|
crystal oscillator stabilizes to guarantee the internal |
|
|
|
reset state. See Figure 10. |
13 |
VSSA |
Analog Ground |
Analog ground reference. |
14 |
SO |
Signal Output |
Analog signal output. Tri-state enabled with internal |
|
|
|
signal. |
15 |
C2 |
Capacitor 2 |
Connection for 680pF capacitor to ground. |
16 |
C1 |
Capacitor 1 |
Connection for 680pF capacitor to ground. |
17 |
SI |
Signal Input |
Analog signal input. |

5.0 VDC ± 10% analog supply voltage with respect to |
|
|
|
VSSA. |
