High Speed ADSLplus Chipset with

Integrated Wireless LAN

CX94610

The CX94610 is part of a new family of pin compatible CPE products from

Conexant designed to leverage common DSP firmware, software, and hardware

efforts across multiple applications from DSL bridges to wireless enabled DSL

integrated access devices (IADs). Other products in this family include the

CX94410 (ADSLplus Chipset with Enhanced INP) and the CX94615 (ADSL2plus

Chipset with Integrated Wireless LAN and Voice). The chipset includes a highly

integrated analog front end (AFE) and a single-chip network processor with

802.11a/b/g MAC and baseband functionality. The CX94610 includes all the

interfaces required to enable feature-rich DSL CPE platforms.

The optimized Wi-Fi architecture reduces the number of components and

improves manufacturing and quality with a repeatable and easily tunable Wi-Fi

front end. The CX94610 has been designed to accommodate advanced wireless

features such as push-button Wi-Fi Protectd Setup (WPS) to easily and securely

connect to wireless devices, and full Smart Antenna support for reliable Wi-Fi

coverage with both data and multimedia streams.

The CX94610 handles connections to an Ethernet PHY, Ethernet switch, or

Support for USB 2.0 host/device applications is available to attach peripherals

such as print servers, network attached storage, cameras, or other USB input

devices. Both parallel and serial flash (SPI) support is included in the CX94610 for

maximum design flexibility. The device interfaces to high speed SDRAM using a

16/32-bit wide connection and includes additional GPIOs for further expansion.

The CX94610 incorporates a flexible dedicated DSP, which supports multiple

DSL standards including ADSL, ADSL2, ADSL2plus (Annexes A, B, M, I, J and L),

using proven firmware to reduce time-to-market, and is fully programmable to

give OEMs a secure, stable path for future upgrades and features.

At the center of the CX94610 chipset is a high performance ARM™-based RISC

processor core, which supports industry standard operating systems such as

assist the processor, additional hardware engines, including a dedicated Wi-Fi

processor, virtual private network (VPN) engine, and hardware ATM SAR, are

integrated to support compute intensive tasks. The software solutions for the

CX94610 include full support for advanced features such as IPTV quality of

service (QoS), advanced firewall, and DSLHome™, the DSL Forum’s initiative to

standardize and simplify the provisioning and configuration of the DSL gateway.
