Bill, >>Maybe I shouldn't have posted this, because I'm back to the same question.... What was added to G.Lite which Aware has a patent on?... until later. We can only speculate until the patent comes through. Here is mine: Since G.lite is splitterless there is the problem of detecting/sensing when the phone is off or on on-hook, then dedicating a clean voice channel. Gnight-Eric

Do you know whether AWRE's patents have been finalized? If they are in pending stages, wouldn't a challenge be a possibility given the potential size of this market?

Analog Devices Announces Driver Amplifier for xDSL Applications Where Low Distortion, High Speed Are Essential, and Low Cost is Critical High-Output Current, Low Cost, Small Package; High-Performance Line Driver Well-Suited for xDSL CPE Designs NORWOOD, Mass., Oct. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Analog Devices announces the AD8017, a low-cost, dual, high-output current, low-power amplifier, capable of driving low-distortion signals to within 1.0 V of the +12-V supply rail. This driver amplifier was designed for single +12-V supply, xDSL systems such as PC-based ADSL, HDSL and xDSL modems. The AD8017 drives a minimum of 270 mA of output current per amplifier while maintaining -58 dBc SFDR (spurious free dynamic range) at 1 MHz into 10 ohms, setting the standard for useable output current drive. Fabricated on Analog Devices' high-speed XFCB process, the high-bandwidth (160 MHz -- 3 dB BW), fast slew rate (1500 V/microseconds) and low noise (1.9 nV/square root Hz) of the AD8017 keep distortion to a minimum while drawing a low quiescent current of just 7 mA/amplifier (typ). This combination of low distortion, high-output voltage drive and high- output current drive makes the AD8017 well-suited for low-cost Customer Premise End (CPE) equipment for ADSL, SDSL, VDSL and proprietary xDSL systems. The AD8017 is fully specified at +/-2.5-V and +/-6-V supplies and also operates from a +12-V supply. Utilizing ADI's proprietary ''Thermal Coastline'' thermally enhanced SOIC package, the AD8017's total power (static and dynamic) on +12-V supplies easily dissipates without an external heat sink (other than placing the AD8017 on a 4-layer PCB). Operating temperature range is from 0 to +85 degrees Celsius. This dual, high-output current drive amplifier is available now and sells for $2.78 in 1000-piece quantities. For more information on the AD8017, including datasheets, application tips and samples, please visit www.analog.com. With fiscal 1997 sales of $1.24 billion, Analog Devices (NYSE: ADI - news) is a leading manufacturer of precision high-performance integrated circuits used in analog and digital signal processing applications. Headquartered in Norwood, Massachusetts, the company employs approximately 7,500 people worldwide and has manufacturing facilities in Massachusetts, California, North Carolina, Ireland, the Philippines and Taiwan.
