Delivers $10 HomePlug(TM) Solution for Embedded Market
New INT5200 Continues Intellon's Powerline Leadership With World's Lowest
Cost
HomePlug 1.0 Integrated Circuit

Dec 9, 2003
OCALA, Fla., Dec. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Intellon Corporation, the world leader
in integrated circuits (ICs) for high-speed powerline networking, today
announced its third generation HomePlug(TM) 1.0-compliant chip. The INT5200
is a completely integrated single-chip powerline solution that brings
the total add-in cost of HomePlug below $10 for embedded designs such
as desktop PCs, broadband modems, media centers, networked audio devices
and home security cameras. The INT5200 is now available in production
volumes, and is currently being shipped to Intellon customers for use
in new embedded products already in design as well as a new generation
of lower cost HomePlug adapters.
Intellon invented the baseline technology that was adopted by the HomePlug
Alliance as the industry standard for powerline networking. Today, the
company has the dominant share of the global HomePlug market, with customers
shipping more than 50 products based on Intellon's HomePlug 1.0 ICs. The
introduction of the INT5200 builds on Intellon's success and enables customers
and partners to create the highest quality, least expensive HomePlug products
in the world.
"Our customers asked Intellon for a sub-$10 embedded solution for HomePlug, and we are proud to again demonstrate our industry leadership by meeting this aggressive goal," said Charlie Harris, President and Chief Executive Officer of Intellon Corporation.
"The
INT5200 is the result of years of customer enablement experience coupled
with significant semiconductor integration work on the part of our engineers.
Intellon has a significant
market lead in HomePlug adapter volumes, and we believe the INT5200 will
allow us to continue this dominance in driving the growth of the embedded
markets." The INT5200 integrates a HomePlug 1.0 physical layer (PHY)
and media access control (MAC), three host interfaces including MII, Ethernet
10/100BT MAC, and USB1.1 device, and a complete analog front-end (AFE)
with receive and transmit amplifiers, all in CMOS technology. This makes
the INT5200 the most highly integrated and lowest cost HomePlug solution
in the industry.
For
customers that have used Intellon's HomePlug SIMPLE(TM) module designs,
Intellon has released a new version of the SIMPLE module with the
INT5200 on board. The new SIMPLE module is pin-for-pin compatible with
previous versions, ensuring that customers will not require any redesign
for these products.
Intellon
will exhibit at CES 2004 in Las Vegas January 8-11. Intellon will show
a wide range of HomePlug applications developed by its customers,
including broadband sharing, online gaming, home security, networked entertainment
and WiFi range extension. The exhibit will also demonstrate Intellon's
exciting new high-speed PowerAV technology that can stream multiple HDTV
programs over existing electrical wiring in homes and small businesses.
