I assume Infineon will produce DSL chips for Siemen's switches and possibly their PBX's.

Analog Devices Reinforces Leadership Position in XDSL With Introduction of Two Low-Power xDSL Amplifiers -- Latest additions to company's xDSL products offer state-of-the-art solutionsfor reduced power consumption, while improving performance. NORWOOD, Mass., March 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Analog Devices, Inc. (NYSE: ADI - news) today announced the addition of two new xDSL amplifiers to its broadband linear portfolio: the AD8016ARE line driver, and the AD8022 dual low-noise receive amplifier. Designed with breakthrough process technology and using small footprint packaging, these products open the door for higher density, next-generation line cards and high-performance modems. According to a Dataquest report, the xDSL market should grow from 2.7 million central office (CO) ports shipped in 1999, to 5.2 million shipped in 2000. ADI's linear xDSL solutions are now designed into more than 75 percent of the world's xDSL systems, making ADI the leading supplier of high- performance broadband analog ICs for high-speed wire-line communications applications. The company's customer base includes more than 50 of the world's largest wired communications companies. ADI's xDSL line drivers and receive amps are an integral part of the xDSL line cards and modems because they provide high-speed Internet access and multimedia services that are 25 times faster than today's fastest analog modems. ``As the number one supplier of high-performance analog ICs to the xDSL market, Analog Devices is committed to delivering superior solutions to xDSL applications,' said Ed Spence, product manager, xDSL Amplifiers. ``As the xDSL roll-out continues its rapid expansion worldwide, ADI remains the leader by providing the highest performing and most power efficient linear communications products to the industry's leading manufacturers.' About the AD8016ARE and AD8022 The AD8016ARE is a package extension of the successful AD8016 line driver, which was released in the 4th quarter of 1999. The AD8016ARE is in a 28-lead thermally enhanced thin shrink small outline package (TSSOP). The TSSOP package optimizes the AD8016 for higher density HDSL2 and G.Lite line-cards by reducing the package footprint. Higher density line cards reduce the overall system cost by reaching more customers, making xDSL solutions more affordable. The AD8016ARE also delivers uncompromising performance and power efficiency to high-end ADSL customer premise equipment (CPE). The AD8016ARE is a high-output-current dual amplifier designed for the line drive interface in xDSL systems. The lower power dissipation of G.Lite and HDSL2 standards decreases the amount of heat generated by the line driver, enabling the smaller package, and resulting in reduced board area and lower cooling costs. The space gained within the cabinet enables more line ports per cabinet. The AD8016ARE also has a flexible power-down function, which further reduces power consumption to fit the application or line conditions, allowing designers maximum flexibility to make smaller, higher density line- cards. The AD8022 consists of two low-noise, high-speed voltage feedback amplifiers. These dual amplifiers provide wideband and low distortion performance which is optimal for stability when driving capacitive loads. The AD8022 offers the lowest noise currently available for the minimum power consumed- 2.5 nV/root-Hz on only 4 ma/amplifier of supply current. Low noise is critical to increasing an xDSL modem's ability to pick up the signal on long lines. With +5 to +/-12V operation, designers have more flexibility to handle the received power from both long and short loops. Pricing and Availability The AD8016ARE and the AD8022 are currently shipping. The AD8016 family is available in a 28-lead HTSSOP (AD8016ARE), 24-lead SOIC (AD8016ARB) and a thermally enhanced 20-lead power small outline package (PSOP) (AD8016ARP). The AD8022 is available in both an 8-pin MicroSOIC and 8-pin small outline integrated circuit (SOIC) packages. The AD8016ARE costs $4.11 and the AD8022 costs $2.35 in 1,000-piece quantities.
