Power Line Communication for Lighting Applications Using Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) with a Single DSP Controller

DSP controllers provide the on-chip peripherals and computational power needed to implement various power electronics applications. A single-chip DSP controller allows designers to implement multiple functions such as power line communication, power-factor correction, and inverter control, all needed for an overall dimmable lighting ballast application. This application report presents a complete implementation of a power line modem following CEA-709 protocol using a single DSP.
