The answer to your question is yes, the Zeno part can be used in multi-point communications since it is essentially a microcontroller.
Unfortunately we do not give extensive support on the chip…
Yes, but it would take an RS-232/485 transceiver to accomplish.
The MAX79356 (ZENO) has its UART0 port, which is just a UART port. RS-232/485 only define the voltages and physical layer; they do not…
The MAX79356 PLC Modem supports all standards and frequency bands to reduce R&D and evaluation time. In addition, it has the following features:
G3-PLC Certified
Compliant with G3-PLC, IEEE 1901…
Symbol timing is hardcoded in the Maxim-supplied firmware, and conforms to the G3-PLC standard. You can only change the band for different OFDM symbol time:
695usec for CENELEC band 232usec for the FCC…
It is very unlikely that customers could reprogram the bootloader using the serial port as it is not accessible. The flash block of the bootloader is locked and customers cannot erase it by mistake. The…
Yes. When the program flash of the MAX79356 is corrupted, the part can become unresponsive upon power-up. The solution is listed below:
Disconnect all source of power including UART0/1 to MAX79356…
The internal LDO voltage regulator on MAX79356 must be enabled, and the DVDD12_REG supply output should be connected to the AVDD12 and DVDD12 supply inputs. Disabling the internal LDO may lead to rare…
The MAX79356 has three different versions of firmware available for use. Which one you use in your end-product depends upon what you wish to do:
SimpleMAC Firmware and GUI: used for testing the PHY and…
