An alternative method to lower Iq in power-line communications. Why RS-485 is often used in PLC. ... The module will now consume 5-µA Iq, which will only account for 0.02% of the whole chip.

February 4, 2003 - Following the silicon verification of ChipIdea's Analog Front-End for Power Line Communications, the core was further enhanced and integrated with a powerfull OFDM BaseBand ...

This article puts the spotlight on low quiescent-current (Iq) consumption in power-line communications (PLC), and we’ll start by looking at an overtemperature protection (OTP) circuit for PLC ...
