RED beet

RED beet is a universal powerline module based on a Qualcomm’s QCA7005 chip supporting HomePlug GreenPHY standard. There are 3 different versions of the module and despite primary focus on e-mobility (EVSE and PEV) it also perfectly fits for smart grid, smart meter, IoT and other long-range communication applications. All modules come with extended industrial temperature range making it suitable even for high-end automotive applications. Low noise floor and optimized line coupling circuitry with custom components including 1:1:1 and 1:4:5 ratio transformers and 4 kV overvoltage protection
