The Microsemi Le87501 PLC drivers are based on Microsemi's high-speed, high-voltage bipolar process technology, which enables significant performance and cost savings over currently used technologies. Microsemi's devices have also been selected by ST for reference designs for its recently announced ST2100 STreamPlug SoC products used in applications where high integration levels and computation performance are required, such as consumer home area networks (HANs), industrial and smart-grid applications. The combination of the two parts, for IoT applications, will enable faster development of innovative power management systems, Microsemi asserts.
