Intel® 536EP Chipset
Overview
Features and Benefits | Additional Features | Product and Packaging

The Intel® 536EP is an ITU V.92 and V.90 compliant controller-less modem chipset designed to serve a wide range of applications including laptops, desktops, Internet appliances and set-top boxes. This ITU V.92 compliant chipset gives modem manufacturers the ability to design PCI or Mini-PCI products that deliver V.92 features like quick connect, modem-on-hold, and 48K upload speeds. It also supports V.44 compression for improved throughput.

The 536EP chipset consists of the DQ82536EP Digital Signal Processor (DSP), and MD1724 Analog Front End (AFE) or silicon Data Access Arrangement (DAA). Host-based controller software contains code for all controller functions for data (including error correction and data compression), fax and voice modes. All digital signal processing functions are performed by the DSP including modulation, echo cancellation, call progress monitoring and voice processing.

Power management features like Advanced Configuration Power Interface (ACPI), Wake-Up on Ring (WOR), and low overall power usage make the 536EP an ideal chipset for modems designed for laptop computers.

The 536EP supports Telephone Emulation mode, IS-101 voice commands, and record and playback message capabilities when configured with a MD1724. Telephone-Emulation mode allows a handset/microphone-speaker and modem to be used as a complete telephone.

The V.80 option ensures compatibility with host-based H.324 videoconferencing application software. The 536EP supports both transparent and framed submodes of the V.80 synchronous access mode, plus Voice Call First and full-duplex speakerphone. Operating system support includes Windows* 95, 98, ME, NT 4.0, 2000, XP, and Linux*.
