IT900A DCSK Turbo is a fully integrated SoC PLC modem and application solution on a single chip to feature DCSK Turbo speed and robustness.
IT900A offers a full protocol stack to meet the demands of applications as Energy Management/Smart Grid including (AMR/AMM/AMI), Indoor/Outdoor Lighting Control and Home/Building Automation. IT900A Feature high in-phase and cross-phase reliability and offer Yitran’s DCSK Turbo technology to enable a high level of code efficiency, robustness and transmission speeds of up to 500Kbps. IT900A is fully interoperable with Yitran’s IT900, IT800 and IT700 series and complies with worldwide regulations (FCC, ARIB, CENELEC).
The IT900A is available in two versions:
➊ The Protocol Controller Architecture version includes Yitran’s Y-Net network protocol stack. A UART interface and simple command language provide seamless connection to an external Host controller and simplify application development. In this version, no access to the microcontroller’s resources is provided.
➋ The Open Solution Architecture version allows utilization of the IT900A microcontroller’s peripheral functions such as timers, interrupts, communication interfaces, A/D, spare memory resources and general-purpose I/Os to implement the application code, thereby eliminating the requirement for an external host controller. An Application Programming Interface (API) will enable easy integration of the application code with Yitran’s code.
