Burr-Brown Announces Industry's Smallest, Lowest Cost Analog Front End Chip for xDSL.TUCSON, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 10, 1997--Burr-Brown Corporation (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :BBRC BBRC Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications BBRC Bellevue Breakfast Rotary Club (Washington state) BBRC Ball Brothers Research Corporation ) today announced the AFE (Apple File Exchange) An earlier Macintosh utility that converted data files between Mac and PC formats. It also included a file translator between IBM's DCA format and MacWrite. 1124, the industry's smallest, lowest cost Analog Front End (AFE) chip available for xDSL (Digital Subscriber Line See DSL. (communications, protocol) Digital Subscriber Line - (DSL, or Digital Subscriber Loop, xDSL - see below) A family of digital telecommunications protocols designed to allow high speed data communication over the existing copper telephone lines between end-users and ) network communication systems including HDSL See DSL. HDSL - High bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line (High-bit-rate DSL) and MDSL MDSL Multi-rate Digital Subscriber Line MDSL Medium-Speed Digital Subscriber Line MDSL Multiple Digital Subscriber Line MDSL maximal dynamic soleus length MDSL Master Deal and Signage List MDSL Maximum Data Segment Length MDSL Moderate Speed Dsl (Medium-bit-rate DSL). The AFE1124 chip provides all the active analog circuitry needed to receive, convert, and transmit analog and digital signals within an xDSL system. xDSL provides high speed business and residential data services such as fast internet access, video telephony, and normal voice services using a standard copper wire telephone line. xDSL technology, including HDSL and MDSL, is expected to have a significant impact on high speed communications throughout the world since it achieves high speed transmission using installed copper wire, without the need to install specially designed high speed communications lines. There are over 600 million copper access lines currently in use, potentially making xDSL a multi-billion dollar industry. The general purpose AFE1124 joins Burr-Brown's growing family of AFE chips which currently support xDSL solutions from PairGain, Metalink, and Rockwell. Burr-Brown is presently shipping volume production to these and other leading xDSL providers. "The addition of the AFE1124 to our industry-leading line of AFE products, coupled with the success of our DRV1100 line driver, extends Burr-Brown's position as the world's leading producer of xDSL front end solutions," said Mike Pawlik, vice president of marketing at Burr-Brown. The product features scaleable data rate allowing the chip to be used for all speeds from 64kbps to 1168kbps, with no external active circuitry, and is designed with a serial digital interface This article is about the serial digital interface used in professional video. For serial interfaces in general, see serial port. The Serial Digital Interface (SDI), standardized in ITU-R BT.656 and SMPTE 259M, is a digital video interface used for broadcast-grade video. for ease of use. In addition, the AFE1124 requires the lowest power of all analog front ends on the market--250mW with 3.3V/5V supplies. AFE1124 is housed in a 28-pin SSOP SSOP Shrink Small Outline Package SSOP Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (USDA) SSOP Sanitary Standard Operating Procedures SSOP Sharescan-Open Platform (Ecopy) SSOP Site Security Operational Procedures package and priced from $9.00 in 1000s. Delivery is from stock.
