ISL15102
Single Port, PLC Differential Line Driver
The ISL15102 is a single port differential line driver developed for Power Line Communication (PLC) applications. The device is designed to drive heavy line loads while maintaining a high level of linearity required in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) PLC modem links.
The ISL15102 has a disable control pin (DIS). In Disable mode, the line driver goes into Low Power mode and the outputs maintain a high impedance in the presence of high receive signal amplitude, improving TDM receive signal integrity.
The ISL15102 has built-in thermal protection. When the internal temperature reaches +150°C (typical) the driver shuts down to prevent damage to the device.
