VE8921 PRODUCT PROFILE

Dual Channel FXS + Single Channel FXO Chipset

Product Status: Production

The VE8921 chipset is a highly integrated, low-cost, 2FXS + 1FXO chipset that is optimized for residential VoIP gateways such as voice enabled DSL modems, set-top boxes, and analog terminal adapters.

The chipset implements simultaneous FXS and FXO functionality by providing the necessary voice interface functions to connect to and power a telephone and an isolated DAA for connection to the PSTN. On the digital side, the VE8921 chipset provides standard MPI and PCM interfaces to a VoIP processor.

The VE8921 chipset, coupled with Zarlink?s VoicePath? API-II (VP API-II) enables designers to offer a single hardware design that is software programmable for worldwide markets. The VP API-II 'C' code is used to abstract Zarlink?s devices from application code while providing functions for controlling, supervising, and testing a set of subscriber lines. The chipset utilizes patented low value PCB capacitors, resulting in best in class DAA performance in both common mode and RF immunity.
