Analog Devices Introduces Industry's Lowest Power Line Driver For Higher Density DSL Line Cards - The AD8016 enables higher port density, greater signal reach and lower system cost than first-generation solutions. NORWOOD, Mass., Sept. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Analog Devices, Inc. (NYSE: ADI - news) today introduced the highest efficiency xDSL line driver available on the market today, the AD8016. The low power dissipation of the AD8016 enables xDSL line card designers to deliver higher density line cards for increased port density. This increased port density allows telecommunications providers to accommodate more customers per cabinet, resulting in lower infrastructure costs. The AD8016 operates on +/-12V supplies and delivers high output current to within 2V to the supply rail with low distortion. In addition, flexible power-down features allow the AD8016 to operate efficiently in xDSL applications such as ADSL, G.Lite and HDSL2. ''With the AD8016, we've set a new standard for DSL line driver efficiency,'' said Ed Spence, product manager, DSL Line Drivers. ''This improvement in efficiency, about 30 percent better than previously available solutions, was achieved while delivering even lower distortion. The combination of a new low distortion architecture on a new technology, flexible power-down features and small package options make the AD8016 the optimum choice for ADSL, G.Lite and HDSL2 applications.'' Pricing and Availability Fabricated using ADI's 26V high-speed bipolar process, the AD8016 is available in industry-standard 20-pin Power Small Outline Package (20 PSOP) and a 24-pin Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) ''Batwing,'' packages. Both are specified over the industrial temperature range of -40 to +85 degrees C. In 1,000-piece quantities, the AD8016 is priced at $4.11 in an SOIC package. Additional information on the AD8016 can be found at www.analog.com/8016. About Analog Devices' Broadband Solutions ADI's family of broadband products includes xDSL line drivers and analog front ends, as well as complete xDSL solutions. The company's xDSL solutions form the foundation for modems that provide high-speed Internet access and multimedia services up to 25 times faster than today's fastest analog modems.
