Wednesday, 08 January, 2025 | Supplied by: STMicroelectronics Pty Ltd


Ready for use in forthcoming multi-protocol smart meters that enhance flexibility for handling energy data, the STMicroelectronics ST85MM programmable powerline communication (PLC) modem natively supports field-proven Meters and More and PRIME 1.4 smart grid standards.

The modem is designed to provide a future-proof foundation for advancement, leveraging STMicroelectronics PLC system-on-chip architecture.

The modem also features programmable DSP and Arm Cortex-M4 core, able to run either Meters and More or PRIME protocols. The modem also integrates the complete PLC analog front end, with a dedicated cryptographic engine for turn-key secure communication. The STLD1 line driver companion IC works with the ST85MM to complete the PLC communication function of the smart-meter design.

On top of the latest protocol capabilities, ST has also announced PRIME 1.4 Hybrid PLC and RF certification for the base node. This leverages the advantages of powerline and wireless connectivity by combining the modem with the S2-LP ultra-low power radio transceiver.

The ST85MM is available now in a 7 x 7 mm QFN56 package.
