Qualcomm QCA7420 - IEEE 1901 compliant HomePlug AV MAC/PHY Transceiver

The AR7420 (QCA7420) is a Powerline Communications (PLC) transceiver IC. This IC enables the world’s smallest, highest performing and lowest power HomePlug AV-based and IEEE 1901-compliant products yet deployed. The chipset operates over a wider spectrum (2 MHz to 68 MHz), delivering over 2x the PHY rate speed of current HomePlug AV solutions.
The AR7420 transceiver is optimized for multi-media streaming applications to reliably deliver up to 500 Mbps PHY rate over the home’s AC wiring. The AR7420 includes a complete IEEE 1901 and HomePlug AV MAC and PHY, MII/RMII host interface and integrated memory and 10/100 low power Ethernet PHY. The AR7420 includes high-precision A/D (Analog-to-Digital) and D/A (Digital-to-Analog) converters required for analog interface to the AR1540 AFE/Line Driver IC.
The companion chip is the AR1540 Line Driver IC. The AR1540 Line Driver IC includes a Tx filter, a programmable-gain line driver and a programmable-gain Rx amplifier. The amplifier programmability allows signal optimization and multiple country support.
