73M2901CE Product Brief
World's Lowest Cost Modem
is also the Smallest
The new 73M2901CE low speed modem integrates a data pump, controller, and analog
front end in a 3.3V device with a powerful "AT" command host interface. The modem
reduces external component count/cost by incorporating many features like parallel phone
detect, Line-In-Use and Ring detection in software without additional components required,
resulting in a 25% cost and 35% footprint reduction compared to other solutions on the mar-
ket today.
Flexible, Low-Cost Modular Design
The modem's reduced external components and 5x5 mm
2
MLF (QFN) package make it the
smallest and lowest cost solution in the market today. The device is truly a "one chip fits all"
implementation for applications including set-top box, point-of-sale terminals, automatic
teller machines, remote monitoring devices, metering devices, vending machines and smart
card readers.
Pin Compatibility
Another distinctive feature of this device is pin compatibility with TDK's 73M2901CL, and the
new 73M1903 soft modem AFE. This offers customers a cost effective method to design for
both hard or soft modem solutions in the same system as a risk-free cost reduction path.
