Introduction
Safety precautions

Cypress bears no responsibility for any consequences that may result from the improper or hazard-
ous use of this board.
Using the PLC Kit
Cypress’s Powerline Communication Solution (PLC) makes it possible to transmit command and
control data over high voltage and low voltage powerlines. This solution is developed for low band-
width powerline communication.
The PLC CY3276 high voltage (HV) Development Board is a tool that allows for system design by
using the Cypress PLC family of devices to transmit data up to 2400 bps over high voltage (90V to
264V AC) powerlines.

The Cypress PLC Solution
Powerlines are available everywhere in the world. This makes them one of the most widely available
communication mediums for PLC technology. The pervasiveness of powerlines also makes it difficult
to predict their characteristics and noise. Because of the variability of powerline quality, implement-
ing robust communication over powerline has been an engineering challenge for years. With this in
mind, the Cypress PLC solution is designed to enable secure, reliable, and robust communication
over powerlines.
Use the board with expert technical supervision. There is high voltage (110V /240V AC) power on
the board.
Accidental human contact with high voltage is dangerous.
The capacitors on the board can be energized even after disconnecting the board from main
power supply. Be careful to not touch any parts on the board immediately after you disconnect the
main power supply.
Safety plastic casing is provided on the top of HV section. Do not touch the protected area during
live operation for debugging, probing, or for any other purpose.
Chapter 1 provides a brief overview of the Cypress PLC solution. It describes the contents of the
CY3276 development kit and lists special features of the PLC Demonstration kit.
Chapter 2 gives the functional overview of the PLC board and describes the setup and operating
procedure of PLC HV board. It provides a high level hardware description of the board.
Use caution when using power supplies or power related equipment.
CAUTION: High Voltage (Risk of Electric Shock)
Extreme care is necessary when you work wih powerline communications equip-
ment.
