3.3.3.2 PLC Reception Circuit

The PLC reception circuit used in PL460-EK (see Figure 3-12) is the reference design for the reception stage, and it is composed of:
  • Single-pole low pass filter, R21 and C11
  • Automatic Gain Control (AGC) circuit. A resistor, R24, is used to attenuate the incoming PLC signal in case its amplitude is high enough to exceed the input dynamic range of the embedded ADC
  • A resistor, R22, for impedance matching
  • DC decoupling capacitor, C10
