Since the early 90s, ST has been committed to supporting advances in narrow-band power-line communication (PLM/PLT/PLC) technologies that then became largely adopted by Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) and Automatic Meter Infrastructures (AMI) solutions at the heart of the smart grid concept.
STM large and expanding offer ranges from our first generation analog FSK transceivers with an integrated power-line driver to a second generation, dual-core, multi-protocol, STarGRID® system-on-chip platform with an integrated power-line driver, analog front-end and AES encryption that supports B-FSK, B-PSK, Q-PSK, 8-PSK and OFDM modulations.
STM newest release is the future-proof, fully-programmable, dual-core STCOMET SoC platform supporting channels up to 500 kHz, with an integrated AFE, power-line driver and programmable modem. The STCOMET platform also includes a fully-integrated smart meter SoC that embeds high-performance metrology functions.
To ensure ST's PLM/PLT/PLC transceivers can be readily integrated into tomorrow's smart meter designs, we are among the principal members of major industry alliances committed to the development of standard communication protocols for the smart grid including PRIME, PLC- G3 and METERS AND MORE®. In addition, STM transceivers comply with EN50065, FCC and ARIB standards.
STM power-line communication platform comes with an extensive toolbox that includes evaluation boards, evaluation software and certified protocol stacks, providing designers with a comprehensive development environment enabling easy integration into new and existing designs and shorter time to market.

Introduction:
Introduction:
STMicroelectronics’
narrowband Power Line Transceivers (PLT) provide reliable communication
over existing power lines with limited data throughput required by main
remote control applications like Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) and
Management (AMM), street lighting control, loads management and home
and building automation.
The very favorable cost/performance ratio makes ST’s transceivers a unique communication alternative or extension of more conventional dedicated wireline and
wireless systems.
This new ST7540 Power Line Transceiver is the most compact and cost effective solution from ST.
