Description

The STEVAL-IPP003V1 evaluation board is a

PLM communication module that can be used for

a large set of applications, including metering,

building automation and street lighting. The

module is optimized to operate in CENELEC

bands, but can also work in FCC and ARIP bands

up to 250 kHz with a few modifications.

The module is based on the STM32F103RFT6

ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller and the ST7580

xPSK narrow band power line modem with up to

28.8 kbps data rate. The MCU mounted on the

board can be easily replaced with an equivalent

64-pin MCU from the STM32F2 or STM32F4

family by a few modification in the assembly. The

module can be coupled to both AC and DC power

line buses and also includes a USB interface for

optional PC connection.
