Noise Immunity

Transceiver is composed of two components: the FT 6000

Series Smart Transceiver and an external communications

transformer (the FT-X3). The transformer enables operation

in the presence of high frequency common-mode noise on

unshielded twisted-pair networks. Properly designed devices

can meet the rigorous Level 3 requirements of EN 61000-

4-6 without the need for a network isolation choke. The

transformer also offers outstanding immunity from magnetic

noise, eliminating the need for protective magnetic shields in

most applications.

The FT 6000 Series Smart Transceiver and the FT-X3

Communications Transformer are designed to be used as

a pair, and therefore must be implemented together in all

designs. No transformer other than the FT-X3 (or FT-X1 or

FT-X2) communications transformer may be used with the FT

6000 Smart Transceiver or the smart transceiver warranty will

be void.

Migration Considerations

A typical FT 6000 Smart Transceiver-based device requires a

power source, crystal, external memory, and an I/O interface to

the device being controlled (see Figure 4 for a typical FT 6000

Smart Transceiver-based device).

Echelon provides all of the building blocks required to

successfully design and field cost-effective, robust products

based on the FT 6000 Smart Transceivers. Our end-to-end

solutions include a comprehensive set of development tools,

network interfaces, routers, and network tools. In addition,

pre-production design review services, training, and worldwide

technical support (including onsite support) are available

through Echelon’s Support technical assistance program.

Please contact your local Echelon representative for

further details.
