Hi Igor,

Seem to remember that you have a technical background... A couple of obscure technical memory related questions for you when you've got the time... from the article you posted:

>>The 3Com design integrates a programmable DSP core, all requisite memory, and high-speed analog/mixed-signal circuits onto a single chip. The programmable DSP core provides a software upgradeable platform to support evolving communications industry standards while preserving hardware investments. Integrating all memory on-chip significantly reduces power consumption and board space. In addition to power and space savings, integrating analog/mixed-signal circuitry on-chip reduces eletromagnetic interference (EMI), making FCC compliance easier. <<

How is memory usually handled as a discrete component in current analog modems? How is memory integrated into a system on a chip as described in the article? Is this flash of some sort? About how much would be needed?

and moving along to adsl... due to the complexity of adsl code, is significantly more memory needed? and will integrating memory into a system on a chip for adsl be a significant challenge?

thanks in advance
