With the aim of supporting the growth of the electric car industry, Qualcomm presented a next generation powerline communication device (PLC) , the QCA7006AQ. The company makes it known that it is was developed to meet the communication needs of electric vehicle charging stations using the CCS standard . Very interesting aspect, the new QCA7006AQ & egrave; already now compliant with the HomePlug Green PHY (HPGP) specification, which is the one for the implementation of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) systems .
Therefore, the new Powerline communication device supports advanced bidirectional communication in smart-grid applications to help manage and balance the flow of energy between electric vehicles and the grid. Furthermore, thanks to the integration with the smart-grid, vehicles will be able to authenticate themselves on the network through Plug and Charge automatic payments for recharging electric vehicles, coordinating the timing and direction of energy to and from the grid and home.
Smart-grid charging applications supported by the CCS standard allow users flexibility; to choose optimal charging times and extract energy from their electric vehicles as needed, supporting the growing need for electric vehicle charging while reducing peaks in energy production and distribution.
Qualcomm declares that this is its first PLC device born for < strong> support an Ethernet digital interface . In addition, it is designed to support an ambient operating temperature range between -40 & deg; C and + 105 & deg; C. Optionally, & egrave; also capable of supporting & quot; HomePlug Audio Video (HPAV) streaming with fast speed; PHY above 200 Mbps', allowing EV customers an alternative wired data connection to the cloud through the charging station.
The introduction of the Ethernet digital interface, in addition to the & # 39; 39; serial peripheral interface (SPI), to compliance AEC-Q100 Grade 2 and to the mode & agrave; of HPAV operation, promotes greater flexibility; design for future devices.
The new QCA7006AQ will be available early in the fourth quarter of 2022. For businesses, Qualcomm already puts it; samples available today. Lars Boeryd , Sr. Director Product Marketing, Automotive at Qualcomm Technologies, commented on the launch of this product:
Further expanding our PLC device portfolio, beyond In designing the fully integrated and scalable Snapdragon Digital Chassis solution for automakers, Qualcomm Technologies is supporting an evolving automotive industry driven by EV vehicle architecture. In quality As a leading supplier of HPGP PLC devices for smart-grid communications, we are committed to helping our customers succeed in a growing EV industry that increasingly adopts; the CCS standard.
