Cypress’ PowerPSoC devices are highly integrated programmable power controllers that can be used in LED driver circuits to create smart LED lighting applications. In order to exploit the flexibility and intelligence of these systems, there is now a need for an advanced communication interface between the light switch and the lighting fixture. This application note describes how to add a Powerline communication interface using Cypress’ PLC solution to PowerPSoC based LED driver circuits. The attached code example for PowerPSoC interfaces with CY8CPLC10 device, receives color information sent over the Powerline, and drives up to four LED channels in the circuit.
