GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADSL modem chip set with ATM interface provides all the active functions required to build a complete ATM-based ADSL modem from line interface to ATM UTOPIA bus. The chip set employs Discrete MultiTone modulation as specified in ANSI T1.413.

The chip set operates at CPE end of the loop (ATU-R mode). Reed-Solomon forward error correction plus Trellis coding with or without interleaving in internal interleaving RAM provides maximum noise immunity (see Figure 3).

Interleaving is optional and can be used simultaneously on a slow channel (e.g., for data or control info) while a fast channel (e.g., video) operates without interleaving. ICs include rate adaptation capabilities during show time. In transmit direction the chip set allows to select an attenuation of the signal in case of short loops or large echo (politeness). In receive direction the chip set can optionally control an external multiplexer to select an external attenuation of the signal in case of short loops, and provide a 2-bit output external gain control.
