STMicroelectronics Releases PeakSHDSL Chipset

STMicroelectronics announced commercial availability of a PeakSHDSL chipset for multi-channel applications in central office equipment. ST has demonstrated the chips supporting symmetric rates of 2.3 Mbps over a distance of 5.1 km on ETSI .4mm loop. The chipset consists of a octal digital modem chip that supports multiple line codes and frame structures; and two quad analog transceivers to connect the digital modem chip with the line driver and hybrid balance circuit. The three-chip, 8-channel solution is targeted for high- density line cards used in DSLAMs and DLCs.
