WAYNE, N.J. — LSI Logic is continuing to make a play at ADSL customer premise equipment designs with the release this week (Aug. 20) of a three-chip router solution that can mate up with an 802.11 WLAN card.

The HomeBASE ADSL chipset consists of the AR901 network processor, AR8203 analog front-end (AFE), and AR229 USB/Fast Ethernet physical layer (PHY) chip. Developed around a 200 MHz ARM9 core, the AR901 processor integrates a DMT engine, hardware-based ATM segmentation and reassembly circuitry, a 10/100 Ethernet controller and a proprietary extreme bus bridge (EBB).

The EBB can be configured for as PCI or PCMCIA for linking with 802.11 WLAN chip sets.




The AR8203 AFE features 14-bit analog-to-digital converter and digital-to-analog converters as well as an integrated 5-V line driver. The AR229, on the other hand, integrates both Ethernet 10/100 and USB PHYs and mates up with the AR901 processor.

The chip also sports an Auto-MDIX function which detects and corrects network cross-cabling issues.

The new HomeBASE is available now for $21 in 10,000-unit quantities. A reference design is also available.
