Here MB, some TI/Amati news on VDSL: ebnews.com TI develops DSP-based VDSL chipsets By Darrell Dunn Electronic Buyers' News (12/08/98, 04:04:18 PM EDT) Texas Instruments Inc. has developed DSP-based technology the company says will enable Internet data rates of up to 52-Mbits/s utilizing very high bit-rate digital subscriber line (VDSL) technology. TI and its subsidiary Amati Communications Corp. have provided VDSL chipsets for evaluation by major telephone companies, and in late 1999 plan to offer production volumes. The chipsets are based on synchronous discrete multitone (SDMT) technology with time division duplexing. TI currently offers a module and external modem for VDSL testing and product development. The Piccolo module combines a digital interface, DSP, SDMT engine with an analog front end, and meets ETSI and ANSI requirements for VDSL services. The planned volume chipset will add interfaces to the current technology, and be packaged to meet small space and low power consumption requirements, while maintaining compatibility with the Piccolo, said Terry Riley, marketing manager for VDSL solutions for TI. The VDSL chipset will also be compatible with existing asymmetric DSL (ADSL) services, which provide data transfer rates of 1-Mbits/s to 8-Mbits/s, as well as legacy T1/E1 services. “VDSL services are the next technology advance for delivering high-speed data and video communications together with voice over ordinary copper wiring,” Riley said. All the best, Michael
