SIG61 - Smart Slave for
DC-BUS Powerline Network
This information is preliminary and may be changed without notice
1 GENERAL
The SIG61 is an independent slave in a DC-BUS Powerline communication network controlled by a
SIG60 master device. The SIG61 has 4 identification (ID) pins, used to set the device address, 8 input
pins and 8 output pins. The master can access any SIG61 device independently by using the proper
device address. Data received from a remote SIG60 Master device is reflected to its output pins. The
Master device can read the SIG61 input pins remotely. Its small footprint integrates most of the
components needed for proper operation allowing small-size control solutions.
The SIG61 is an economical slave device for applications such as controlling motors, reading sensors
etc., eliminating the need for dedicated control wires and a host controller for its operation. It helps
reducing the harness size and increase reliability. The SIG61 has a sleep mode that enables power
saving; special Wakeup messages on the DC line are used to signal the sleeping devices to return to
normal operation mode.
The SIG61 is useful for a wide range of Automotive, Avionics and Industrial applications such as sensor
reading, actuator activation, doors, seats, mirrors, climate control, lights, Truck-Trailer, etc.

2 OVERVIEW
The SIG61 is an independent slave in a Master-Slaves network operating on a selected narrow band
channel. A single SIG60 master controls all the slaves in a network; the slaves may be SIG61 devices
as well as SIG60 devices operating as slaves.
Proper Network operation is maintained by employing 5 types of command messages:
Read, Read-
change, Write, Sleep
and
Change-Frequency.
The command format is similar to the standard Universal
Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART).
The SIG61 has internal narrow band modem, capable of operating in noisy environments. The receiver
listens to the DC-BUS on its preset frequency. It filters out the signal from noise and interference and
tries to recover the original command. If the checksum is correct, the SIG61 extracts the ID, Command
and the Data.
If the received ID matches its own ID, the SIG61 proceeds to detect the received command. When a
Write command is received, the data part of the command is directed to the corresponding 8 output
pins. When a Read command is detected, the SIG61 responds by transmitting a dedicated message
towards the master containing an image of its 8 input pins.
Multiple networks can operate concurrently on the same wire using different carrier frequencies.
2.1
Channels and Network
The SIG60-SIG61 network supports 16 combinations of frequency pairs. When set to such a pair, it is
easy to switch from one frequency to the other when such need arises. Each channel accommodates a
single SIG60 master and up to 15 SIG61/SIG60 slave devices. Additional SIG60-SIG61 networks can
coexist on the same power line by employing different frequencies for each network, thus allowing
different applications.
Channel frequencies: 1.75MHz, 4.5MHz, 5.5MHz, 6.0MHz, 6.5MHz, 10.5MHz and 13.0MHz.
Data transfer rate:
9.6Kbps up to 115.2Kbps.
Cable length: Dependant on external AC loads connected to the DC line.

powerline to the host.
Inhibit output for enabling the host or an external voltage regulator
powering the host. This signal is HIGH in the normal and standby
modes and LOW in sleep mode.

sleep mode. Should be pulled to Vdd.
Local wakeup input. Negative or positive edge triggered. This pin can
be connected to an external switch in the application. When the pin is
triggered the device will wake up and send a wake up message to all
the devices on the network. When not in use, this pin should be
pulled Up or Down.
is detected on the DC line. When HIGH, detection of interference
switches the operating frequency between F0 and F1. If at the new
frequency, no reception occurred for 2 sec, the operating frequency is
switched back. For designs with a single channel this pin should be
tied to ground.

3.1 Power Signals
Vdd and Gnd layout traces should be as wide as possible. It is recommended to connect a 0.1uF
capacitor between each Vdd and ground pins, as close as possible to the pins.
Analog Vdd pin, AVdd, should be connected to Vdd. AGnd should be connected to ground. The Analog
supply has to be sufficiently powerful (capable of current driving), to avoid any fluctuations of supply
voltage level. It is recommended to keep the lines connecting the 3.3V power supply to Vdd pins as
short as possible with wide PCB traces.
