Introduction

The Microchip implementation of the G3-PLC firmware stack includes the G3-PLC Hybrid Profile based on the Hybrid G3-PLC and RF Profile Annex to the G3-PLC specification. This document explains how to start using the different resources, hardware and software, that Microchip provides related to the implementation of the G3-PLC Hybrid Profile.

The Microchip G3-PLC Hybrid solution can be run in several hardware platforms, mainly composed by a PLC modem and a RF module. The PLC modems are based on the PL360 or PL460 devices to run the lower PLC layers of the stack. The RF module is based on the AT86RF215 device to run the lower RF layers of the stack. The upper layers of the communication stack run in the main microcontroller (host controller), SAMG55.
