Controller-less, Scalable, Discrete Multitone-based, G.dmt- and G.lite-
compliant, ADSL Modem Device Set for PCI Applications
Conexant’s AccessRunner ADSL modem device set is compliant
with the full-rate ANSI T1.413 Issue 2 and ITU G.dmt (G.992.1)
ADSL standards, and with the splitterless ITU G.lite (G.992.2)
specification. This rate-adaptive solution is designed for controller-
less PCI desktop applications and supports downstream data rates
of up to 8 Mbps and upstream data rates of up to 1 Mbps.
The device set takes advantage of the processing power available
with most new computers by eliminating the need for a separate
microcontroller, resulting in a cost-effective solution suitable for
both G.dmt and G.lite applications. Host-based software provides
support for current industry standards for PPP over AAL5 over
ATM over ADSL and RFC 1483 for Windows 98 and Windows
2000.
The device set, as shown in Figure 1, consists of four chips:
•
•
•
•
PCI bus interface (AccessRunner P46 in a 176-pin TQFP)
DMT-based data pump (AccessRunner 11627 in a 176-pin
TQFP)
Analog front end (AccessRunner 20431 in a 32-pin TQFP)
Line driver (AccessRunner 20441 in a 16-pin SSOP or
32-pin TQFP)

Controller-less ADSL Modem Device Set for PCI Applications
ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) is a transmission
technology used to carry user data over a single twisted pair line
from the Central Office to the customer premises. The downstream
(Central Office to Customer Premises) direction typically supports
a much higher data rate than the upstream or return (Customer
Premises to Central Office) channel. This asymmetric nature lends
itself to applications like remote LAN access, Internet access, and
video delivery. The downstream data rates can go up to 8 Mbps.
The upstream data rates can go up to 1 Mbps. Actual data rates
depend on the transceiver implementation, loop length,
impairments, and transmitted power.
The Conexant ADSL Modem Device Set for PCI Applications is
based upon a scalable architecture. This architecture will enable
the device set to support an emerging set of ADSL specifications
called G.lite. G.lite is expected to make it possible for telcos to
deploy consumer-oriented, “always on” 1.5 Mbps Internet access
services without the need for splitter equipment or wiring changes
at the customer premises.
