Compare the key features of the QCA7005 and QCA7006AQ chipsets to find the right solution
            for your design. The following table provides a side-by-side comparison of their
            operating modes, host interfaces, EV charging ecosystem support, qualification levels,
            and compatibility.

| Feature | QCA7005 | QCA7006AQ |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Primary PLC mode | HomePlug GreenPHY | HomePlug GreenPHY, HomePlug AV |
| Additional PLC mode | Interoperable with HPAV/HPAV2 | Interoperable with HPAV2 |
| Host interfaces | SPI (Slave), UART | SPI (Slave), UART, Ethernet |
| EV charging ecosystem | CCS and NACS | CCS and NACS |
| Ethernet | Not applicable | Integrated 10/100 Ethernet PHY |
| Qualification | Enhanced industrial | AEC-Q100 Grade 2 |
| Compatibility | Interoperable with QCA7000 and QCA7006AQ | Backward compatible/interoperable with QCA7000 and<br>                                QCA7005 |
