(NYSE: ADI) today announced that Hyundai Electronics Industries has selected ADI's ADSL (asymmetric digital subscriber line) quad-port chipsets for their next-generation ADSL modems. These chipsets, which incorporate both high-performance analog and DSP technology, as well as all required software, support both G.lite and full-rate ADSL standards. They also provide much higher port density and significantly less power dissipation per port compared to the single-port chipsets supplied by ADI for Hyundai's first-generation ADSL modems.

"We were initially attracted to ADI because of their ability to combine world-class, high- performance analog and DSP technology with all of the software needed to implement an ADSL solution that met our performance, integration, interoperability, flexibility and reliability requirements. The experience we have gained with them as our first-generation supplier, combined with their excellent roadmap for future ADSL products, convinced us of ADI's commitment to ADSL and their ability to continue serving our ADSL chipset requirements for the fast-growing Korean ADSL market." "With over two million ADSL lines being deployed this year, Korea currently represents the world's largest ADSL deployment," said Russ Johnsen, Vice President of Analog's Communications Division. "Our early commitment to working closely with Hyundai to become their leading ADSL chipset supplier was a major factor in our emergence as the strong market share leader in ADSL chipsets deployed in Korea. We believe that ADI's ADSL chipsets are used in more than 75% of the ADSL modems being deployed in Korea this year. We expect to ship over 7 million ADSL chipsets worldwide this fiscal year, compared to about 1 million last year. With our aggressive ADSL product roadmap, we believe ADI is poised to continue as a leading chipset supplier to the ADSL market."
