DESCRIPTION

The Unicorn II chipset is designed to simplify the development of low-cost ADSL CPE modems for Windows, Mac and Linux based environments and enables manufacturers to achieve a very competitive production cost. Due to its controller-less architecture and particularly the advantage that it does not require an external SDRAM in its E-BOM, the total cost of the external components needed in the modem is the best in its class. With a low component count of less then 140 external components and small form factor packages, the Unicorn II easily fits on a standard 2 layer single sided PCB with small dimensions which contributes significantly to further lowering overall system costs. Together with its low power consumption, highspeed performance up to 8 Mbps and customizable complete software driver packages, the Unicorn II is the ideal choice for USB and PCI based ADSL modems.

STANDARDS COMPLIANCE AND INTEROPERABILITY

Eleven years of experience have enabled ST to develop a chipset that offers full compatibility with all current full-rate and G.lite ADSL standards, USB standards including plug-and-play support. The Unicorn II chipset has a comprehensive driver suite that supports Windows, Mac and Linux. The Unicorn is fully interoperable with all major DSLAMs and is compliant to TR-048 (DSLforum) and ETSI 101 388 performance requirements.
