Integration Unlike ripple control, digitalTF reception is easily integrated into microprocessor-based devices like PV inverters, EV chargers, LED drivers and PowerWalls. In many cases no special HW is required. DigitalTF supplies the required decoding algorithms and software. As such, DigitalTF reception is extremely low cost, unlike any other communication method. We have factory LED drivers available for Public Lighting trials equipped with our firmware. HW unmodified!

Suitable microprocessors
Suitable microprocessors start at low-end 8-bit devices like STM8, PIC, ATtiny and similar. On such a typical device DigitalTF will consume approx 30% of the CPU load. The microcontroller needs a 10-bit ADC capable of sampling 10KHz or faster, which is nowadays supported by any modern microcontroller.

Prototype receivers For trials we have prototype receivers available with 5 relay outputs. These can be used to control many brands of PV inverters to lower their output. Natuarlly, during a transition period, product versions of such external receivers can be used to control EV chargers and PV inverters until the functionality is build into the device itself.

Software and algorithms
The value for company DigitalTF is in the licensing of our algorithms and receiver software. The algorithms employ several trade secrets. Our software consists of C source code to be compiled and linked into the firmware of the device which is to become DigitalTF capable.
