Brazil will easily be over 50% cdma it already is
imho 70% is more accurate as most people switching from analog stay with the same company and the old analog companies 70% use cdma plus the MOT startac is what everbody wants and tdma model was not availible last time i was there
only in dual mode cdma the key is price as cdma can cut prices squeeze competition then when data is availible the millions that bell south spent in sao paulo building there tdma system will be toast !!!
funny that the europeans who bought telebrasil cellular were lucky as they had already chosen cdma and the americans of bell south choose tdma!

ational Semiconductor Announces 40MHz Data
Deserializer that Enables Hot Board Swapping in
Growing Data and Telecommunications Applications
DS92LV1212 Receiver Completes Chip Set That is Half the Cost and Consumes Half the Power Of
Competitive Devices
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 7, 1999-- National Semiconductor® Corporation (NYSE:NSM -
news) today announced the 40MHz DS92LV1212 receiver deserializer that converts serial streams into 10-bit data for
wide-band CDMA, cellular base station, Ethernet, TDMA and central-office switch applications.
It also is designed for video and imaging applications, such as TV studio equipment and MRI medical imaging systems.
''With its companion DS92LV1021 10-bit transmitter serializer, the DS92LV1212 offers designers a flexible chip set that is
half the cost of competitive solutions and consumes only 400mW because of its CMOS design, half the power of competing
devices,'' said Eric King, marketing manager for National's Interface group. ''In addition, the chip set permits hot swapping,
allowing users to insert new communications cards into live serial data streams without disrupting information flow or turning off
power, and its bus LVDS (low voltage differential signaling) technology enables one device to drive many receivers, increasing
performance and lowering chip count.''
The DS92LV1212 is the latest National bus LVDS product designed to speed the integration of data, voice and video traffic
as systems move from 10Mbs to 100Mbs and higher bandwidth transmission. Other key features include a frequency range of
16- to 40MHz, data rate of 400Mbs and 120ps jitter peak to peak.
CMOS technology not only gives the DS92LV1212 the lowest power consumption of any serial data rate device on the
market, but also provides other cost and system benefits. Power-saving CMOS translates to less heat dissipation than with
competing devices manufactured using BiCMOS or gallium arsenide processes. Consequently, the chip set requires less
thermal management, thus reducing system complexity, board area and space requirements.
Pricing and Availability
Available now, the DS92LV1212 is priced at $9.50 each (1000-unit quantities) in a 28-pin SSOP package. With the
DS92LV1021, also in a 28-pin SSOP package, the chip set is priced at $19.00 in 1000-unit quantities. An evaluation kit
containing a transmitter board, a receiver board and a mini backplane can be ordered as part number BLVDS02.
