Overview

The CopperFlite CO CT-L53SC08 Octal-Port ADSL Transceiver Chipset for Central Office Applications consists of the CT-L53DC08 digital processor chip and the CT-L50AC08 analog front end (AFE) chip. It offers a complete suite of silicon and software features, from the analog interface to the consolidated bit sync, PCM and Utopia, for DSLAM, MDU, and DLC ADSL modem applications.

The chipset is configurable, on a per port basis, to support eight G.dmt, G.lite, or T1.413 Issue 2 ADSL modems. Ultra-low power consumption is achieved by use of Centilliumâs second generation DSP core and state-of-the-art mixed signal designs in the AFE. Programmability ensures long product lifetime without the need for costly hardware upgrades. Pin compatibility of the CopperFlite CO family with Centillium's CT-L21SC08 and CT-L50SC04 DSL chipset families eases migration of existing designs.
