Spread Spectrum Power Line Carrier Communication Chip Design

With the advantage,of convenience and money-saving,the power line carrier communication is the emphases and difficulty of communication technology. Products of this field inland are mostly just "building blocks" of electronic components. As the core technology,1C design in power line communication is still at its first step. Under this background,the need for a power line communication chip,suited to the channel character of our country,came out.The first part of the dissertation covers power line communication technology,focus on theory analysis. After the introduction of power line communication's background and advantage,some power line communication methods were given,especially the spread spectrum technology. And in the second part,based on the theory analysis,the design method of our digital 1C was introduced. Firstly,a power line spread spectrum communication scheme was brought out and then it was simulated in system simulation software. System View. With the simulation,the detail design parameter came out. At last,following a typical VLSI design process,was the way that how the chip was designed.Achievements of the dissertation include:The character of the power line channel was studied and its simulation model for SystemView was built. A power line communication scheme was given,whose strongpoint is Spread Spectrum and digital implement. By theory analysis and SystemView simulation,detail principle and performance of the scheme was analyzed. A new chip design method was explained and the chip layout was given at last.The dissertation emphasized hierarchy design methodology and combination of theory and practice. It presented the use of system simulation software to divide modules,and the way how to translate modules to Verilog. Wish all the work could be helpful to the followers in chip design of power line communication.
