ES2842
PCI Integrated LAN V.90/V.92 Modem Solution
Product Brief
DESCRIPTION
The ES2842, ESS Technology’s first LAN plus host-based
TeleDrive modem chip for the PCI bus, provides desktop
and notebook computers with greater connectivity to both
packet networks and telephone networks. The ES2842
maximizes integration and reduces the external component
BOM cost to a minimum.
The ES2842 device combines into a single-chip a host-based
V.90/V.92 modem, modem control buffers, a modem codec, and
an IEEE 802.3-compatible Ethernet media access controller
(MAC) with an analog phoneline interface and a PCI bus
interface. This advanced high-level device integration allows the
ES2842 to be used as a host-based modem and LAN solution for
desktop and notebook systems requiring either a modem
connection or a 10/100 Ethernet connection. The ES2842 is also
capable of providing a home network connection that complies
with the Home Phoneline Networking Alliance (HomePNA) 1-Mb/
s (HPNA1.0) specification.
The ES2842 LAN feature supports 100BASE-TX (100-Mb/s
mode) and 10BASE-T (10-Mb/s mode) full-duplex operations.
The ES2842 includes a media-independent interface (MII) and
reduced MII (RMII), enabling it to interface with an external PHY
transceiver used for either a LAN or HPNA-based chipset.
The ES2842 modem sends and receives data and fax
information and supports the telephone answering machine
(TAM) feature. With its built-in ACPI D3
cold
wake-on-LAN and
wake-on-ring support, the ES2842 is an ideal modem solution for
notebooks and battery-operated devices. The ES2842 modem
provides the interface and control logic needed to transfer data
between its serial I/O terminals and the PCI interface.
The ES2842 delivers a high modem connectivity rate, as well as
high throughput without the need of a dedicated DSP. The
ES2842 supports worldwide homologation and is capable of
data/fax/voice call discrimination. With the addition of an external
transformer DAA, the ES2842 provides a very cost-effective
modem/LAN solution for add-on card, motherboard, and miniPCI card implementations.
The ES2842 is available in a 128-pin low-profile quad flat pack
(LQFP) package.
