The schematics for both the TW523 and PL513 are in the <A HREF="ftp://ftp.x10.com/pub/manuals/technicalnote.pdf">technicalnote.pdf</A> available on the X-10 website.

The schematics are too complicated, do you have simple one?

I don't know how one simplifies a schematic without omitting components. I'm afraid it is what it is. There are simplified block diagrams of both devices on p8 of the PDF.

What are you trying to accomplish? Perhaps someone can make suggestions once they know that.

I am looking for a schematic which is simple, because this circuit is too complicated and has many coils.

Are you trying to build your own PIC-based X-10 interface to the power line? If so, there are some people here who have done that who might be willing to share if you can provide details such as power line voltage and frequency.

Yes, I want to do this, would you please give me one?

I appreciate your replies and your interests

You still haven't provided any details so I don't know whether you are dealing with 120VAC/60Hz or 230VAC/50Hz mains.

Here are URLs to several datasheets, application notes, and schematics of some X-10 PLC interfaces. They show various techniques for coupling to the powerline. While some are for FSK and/or obsolete parts, the powerline interface details still apply to X-10 and ASK modulation.

Anand Dhuru, who posts here, has designed PIC-based X-10 interfaces and may be willing to share details.
