HCFL/56
V.90/K56flex
PC Card Device Sets
for Host-Controlled, Low Power Applications
Conexant HCFL/56 PC Card Device Sets support high-speed
analog data up to 56 kbps, 14.4 kbps fax, voice/TAM, analog
cellular direct connect, and speakerphone (optional) operation
(Table 1). The modem supports ITU-T V.90/K56flex, V.34 and
V.32bis data modulations and is designed to operate with dial-up
telephone lines in the U.S. and worldwide. Low profile, small
PQFP/TQFP packages and low voltage operation with low power
consumption make this device set ideal for laptop, notebook, and
palmtop applications.
The device set consists of a PCMCIA bus interface device (L550211 PCMCIA BIF) in a 128-pin TQFP and a modem data pump
(MDP) in a 144-pin TQFP or 100-pin PQFP. Host modem software
is provided and the downloadable architecture allows updating of
MDP executable code.
The L5502-11 PCMCIA bus interface device supports two
peripheral channels, one channel for the modem and a second
channel for an optional user-defined function (Function 2).
In V.90/K56flex mode, the modem can receive data at speeds up
to 56 kbps from a digitally connected V.90- or K56flex-compatible
central site modem. Taking advantage of the PSTN, which is
primarily digital except for the client modem to central office local
loop, V.90/K56flex modems are ideal for applications such as
remote access to an Internet Service Provider (ISP), on-line
service, or corporate site. The modem can send data at speeds up
to V.34 rates.
In V.34 data mode, the modem operates at line speeds up to 33.6
kbps. Error correction (V.42/MNP 2-4) and data compression
(V.42bis/MNP 5) maximize data transfer integrity and boost
average data throughput. Non-error-correcting mode is also
supported.
In V.32bis mode, the modem operates at line speeds up to 14.4
kbps.
In voice/TAM mode, enhanced 2-bit or 4-bit per sample ADPCM
coding and decoding at 7200 Hz sample rate allows efficient digital
storage of voice/audio. This mode supports applications such as
digital telephone answering machine (TAM), voice annotation, and
recording from and playback to the telephone line.
