A transceiver for the EIA Consumer Electronics Bus

One of the elements of the Consumer Electronics Bus standard for home automation which is being developed by the Electronic Industries Association (EIA) is the twisted pair (TP) bus. The author describes a transceiver architecture developed for use with the TPBus for audio and low-speed data transmission. The TPBus transceiver is designed to be a low-cost platform suitable for incorporation into residential products and to provide total channel use flexibility through independent receiver and transmitter frequency control. This transceiver is currently in breadboard form, and the implementation of an integrated circuit version is being investigated.<
