About this manual

The handbook describes the LM1893 and LM2893 carrier‑current transceiver chips, which use the power mains to transfer data between remote locations. It explains the bi‑directional operation, FSK modulation, and the on‑chip driver that can handle 50 to 300 kHz carrier frequencies.

The document includes absolute maximum ratings, electrical characteristics for both transmitter and receiver modes, typical performance curves, and application guidance for integrating the chip into power‑line communication systems.
