FFF CompatibilityThis is a standalone turn-key demonstration board rather than an STM32 Nucleo expansion shield, requiring separate wiring rather than direct header stacking.Features a much larger standalone PCB footprint with integrated AC power supply circuitry instead of the compact Arduino Uno R3/Nucleo shield form factor.Utilizes the identical ST7580 PLC modem SoC and covers the same communication capabilities and frequency bands as the original expansion board.Designed as an Xplained PRO extension board, which is physically incompatible with the STM32 Nucleo/Arduino Uno R3 header layout.Employs Microchip's proprietary Xplained PRO form factor and header footprint.Functions as a high-performance narrowband PLC evaluation platform but uses a Microchip PL460 modem rather than the ST7580, requiring different software stacks.
AI Summary

X-NUCLEO-PLM01A1 by STMicroelectronics: ST7580 Power Line Communication Modem (PLC) Interface Nucleo Platform Evaluation Expansion Board.

This is the official full-featured evaluation kit from STMicroelectronics built around the same ST7580 PLC chip. It acts as a complete standalone PLC node with an integrated AC mains power supply and on-board STM32 MCU, eliminating the need for a separate Nucleo baseboard.

  • Official STMicroelectronics turn-key evaluation platform utilizing the exact same ST7580 PLC SoC
  • Integrates a complete AC power supply (based on ALTAIR04-900) on-board
  • Includes an on-board STM32 microcontroller, enabling stand-alone operation or direct PC GUI connection
  • Significantly higher cost compared to the expansion board shield
  • Larger physical footprint and does not mount directly onto STM32 Nucleo boards

This is a high-performance Power Line Communication evaluation board from Microchip's PL460 family. It is an excellent alternative for evaluating modern narrowband PLC standards such as G3-PLC and PRIME, though it requires transitioning to the Microchip Xplained PRO hardware ecosystem.

  • Highly integrated PL460 PLC modem with an embedded signal amplification stage to reduce BOM
  • Supports major industry standards like G3-PLC and PRIME
  • Offers robust development support within the Microchip ecosystem
  • Requires migrating to a Microchip host MCU and software ecosystem
  • Incompatible with the STM32 Nucleo development environment

  • Find & compare verified second sources
  • Spot risk early with real-time part monitoring
  • Stay compliant and production-ready

You searched one part. Parter watches your whole BOM.

  1. All your BOM, at once

    Parter maps every line to live stock, lead time, lifecycle and compliance data across the entire market — not part by part.

  2. Hear about problems before they hit production

    Allocation, EOL and last-time-buy notices surface the moment they appear, not when your buyer's PO bounces.

  3. Qualified replacements in minutes, not days

    Every at-risk line gets form-fit-function matches like the ones above — deltas flagged, evidence attached. Review, push to your BOM, and Parter starts watching the new part too.
