DATASHEET
ISL15100
Single Port, PLC Differential Line Driver
The ISL15100 is a single port differential line driver developed
for Power Line Communication (PLC) applications. The device
is designed to drive heavy line loads while maintaining the
high level of linearity required in OFDM PLC modem links. With
15.5dBm of total transmit signal power into 100 line load,
the driver achieves -43dB average MTPR distortion across the
output spectrum up to 86MHz.
The ISL15100 has two bias current control pins (C0, C1) to
allow for four power settings (disable, low, medium, high). In
disable mode, the line driver outputs maintain a high
impedance in the presence of high receive signal amplitude,
so it doesn’t affect TDM receive signal integrity.
The ISL15100 is available in the thermally-enhanced 16 Ld
QFN and is specified for operation over the full -40°C to +85°C
ambient temperature range.

NOTES:
1. Please refer to
TB347
for details on reel specifications.
2. These Intersil Pb-free plastic packaged products employ special Pb-free material sets, molding compounds/die attach materials, and 100% matte
tin plate plus anneal (e3 termination finish, which is RoHS compliant and compatible with both SnPb and Pb-free soldering operations). Intersil
Pb-free products are MSL classified at Pb-free peak reflow temperatures that meet or exceed the Pb-free requirements of IPC/JEDEC J STD-020.
