SM2400-EVK1
Evaluation Kit for
SM2400 Multi-Standard Narrowband
Power Line Communication Modem
Communication technology by:
Semitech Semiconductor
Product Overview
The SM2400-EVK1 is a complete evaluation kit for the SM2400 multi-standard Narrowband Power Line
Communication (N- PLC) modem. The SM2400-EVK1 is configurable to any of the major OFDM based N-PLC
standards, such as PRIME, G3-PLC and IEEE 1901.2, as well as to a number of robust proprietary modes. The
SM2400-EVK1 includes a modem module (SM2400-EV1Mx-x), a base board for the module featuring various
interfaces to facilitate engineering evaluation and a PC-based GUI application (SM2400Control.exe), which
enables comprehensive configuration, control and monitoring/testing of the communication performance of the
modem subsystem.

Figure 2: SM2400-EV1Mx-x Modem Modules
The SM2400-EV1Mx-x N-PLC module is a complete communications modem card. It contains the SM2400 modem chip
as well flash memory, line driver, coupling circuitry and all the analog filtering necessary for an optimal design. It is
intended to be used as a reference design for the implementation of an N-PLC modem product. The base board of the
EVK features a mini-USB connector for connecting to a PC or other controller, a JTAG interface for debugging and
various options for the power supply.
The SM2400-EVK1 is offered in several variations as outlined in this document.
