Elantec Introduces Very Small Footprint DSL Line Driver; The EL1503CL reduces power dissipation in ADSL and HDSL2 line driving applications and provides very small 4 x 5mm size
Business Wire - September 22, 2000 14:37
MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 22, 2000--Elantec Semiconductor, Inc. (NASDAQ: ELNT), a leader in high-performance analog ICs, today introduced its new EL1503CL DSL line driver in its new ultra-small 4 x 5mm leadless plastic package (LPP). The high drive capability, low distortion, low power dissipation and very small footprint of the EL1503CL make it an ideal choice for very high board density ADSL and HDSL2 line driving applications.
This new LPP package replaces the existing 16-pin SOIC as the smallest footprint in the EL1503C family. The LPP is specifically aimed at the high density, low power requirements of leading edge DSLAM and DLC central office applications. The tiny 4 x 5mm footprint and less than 1mm height make it an excellent choice for analog front end (AFE) hybrid modules as well.
The package makes use of a bottom-side thermal pad that attaches to the printed circuit board (PCB) during the standard surface mount soldering process. The die transfers heat directly through this thermal pad to the PCB thus achieving a mounted junction-to-ambient thermal coefficient of less than 40 degrees C per watt.
With only 12.5mA per amplifier supply current and an output swing range of +/-10.3V, the EL1503CL reduces power dissipation in DSL applications. The high output current capability of 450mA also enables the EL1503CL to be used in both DMT and CAP ADSL designs. The EL1503CL can run from supplies of +/-5V to +/-12V. It also features a selection of power control features to optimize power dissipation in a given application.
Kaveh Parsi, Strategic Marketing Manager for Communications products at Elantec said, "The EL1503C is already being used by a number of DSLAM vendors for full-rate and G.lite ADSL applications. Based on initial feedback, the new LPP package extends the EL1503C`s position in the race for high-density, low power, central office line card designs. The EL1503CL is a testament to Elantec`s focus to provide a synergy of innovative products with high capacity manufacturing for the line driver needs of the xDSL technologies."
The EL1503CL is immediately available for sampling in limited quantities; production availability is November 2000. Pricing for the EL1503CL is $6.15 each in 1000-piece quantities.

Elantec Introduces 720mW DSL Line Driver
New EL1508C Central Office Line Driver Offers the Advantages of Very Low Power and the Industry`s Smallest Footprint
MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 25, 2001--Elantec Semiconductor, Inc. (Nasdaq:ELNT - news), a leader in high-performance analog ICs, today released a new, very low power DSL line driver ideal for high density Central Office (CO) applications. The EL1508C is the latest addition to Elantec`s pin-compatible, footprint-compatible family of line drivers that have offered improved performance and reduced cost with each successive generation.

The new EL1508C uses proprietary circuitry to achieve very low distortion and 720mW total power consumption in full rate ADSL applications. This is a full 100mW power reduction as compared to its predecessor, the EL1503C, for which the EL1508C is a direct replacement at a lower cost. The EL1508C is a class A/B amplifier intended for designs requiring only two rails with +/- 12V supply voltages and up to 450mA drive current. The EL1508C achieves a large 43.6Vp-p differential output swing while driving 100 ohms. Available in either a narrow body 16-pin thermal SOIC or a tiny 4x5mm Leadless Plastic Package (LPP) option, the EL1508C offers the industry`s smallest footprint for high density DSLAM line card designs.

The design of the EL1508C, a fifth generation current mode feedback DSL driver, has been optimized for low power, ease of use and a reduced number of external components. As a result, the EL1508C needs up to nine fewer external components than other competitive voltage feedback line drivers, a significant design advantage.

The combination of lower power, smaller footprint, and reduction in external components are enabling features for designing leading edge, very high port count DSL line cards. Higher port counts per square inch help reduce cost and improve profitability for DSLAM vendors.

Kaveh Parsi, Director of Marketing for Communications products at Elantec said, ``Our DSL chipset partners have designed the EL1508C into their newest reference designs to take advantage of the lower power consumption, excellent low distortion performance, and the reduction in external components.`` Mr. Parsi continued, ``Elantec offers a complete family of innovative products for Central Office and Customer Premise applications and very high capacity manufacturing to meet the line driver needs of the xDSL technologies driver products.``

The EL1508C has been sampling since June and is now in production at a price of $3.48 each in 1000-piece quantities.
