1.2 Electrical Specifications

This section shows the electrical characteristics of the kit’s boards.

Table 1-1. Power Supply Requirements
ParameterConditionMin.Typ.Max.Unit
AC Mains Voltage Range100115/230250VAC
Mains Frequency50/60Hz
Maximum Input Current200(1)mA
Isolation VoltageAC/DC power supply and PLC coupling transformer3000VAC

Note that the PL360MB can be supplied with 100VAC, 115VAC or 230VAC by setting the proper jumpers (pitch = 5.08mm) in the voltage selector, J2, as depicted in the Figure 3-13. By default, voltage jumper is set for 230VAC. For more information about power supply, see section Power Supply System.

Note:
  1. This maximum input current is measured in the worst consumption conditions so that when the board is supplied with a minimum input voltage, 100VAC, and it emits against very low impedance in FCC frequency band, the display is on and it is supplying an external board (400 mA at 12 V) through the DC jack, J15.

Notes:
  1. These measurements were taken with a non-optimized FW from a power consumption point of view (PHY TX Test Console project included in the kit with a default configuration in TX mode and RX mode) and also affected by the architecture and efficiency of the power supplies. These measurements correspond to the whole PCBA design and not only to PL360 and SAM4CMS16C devices. All PCB peripherals are supplied, i.e. LCD display and PLCOUP007 coupling board emitting in CENELEC A-band. Refer to PL360 and SAM4CMS16C datasheets for an optimized power consumption measurement result.
