TEXAS INSTRUMENTS new 16-port AC7 multiservice ADSL CO (central-office) chip set is the company's seventh-generation CO offering. The two-tier chip set, including a digital processor that integrates an analog front end, provides further integration of DSL functions and passives. The AC7 supports ADSL, ADSL2, ADSL2+, Annex L, READSL (reach-extended-ADSL), and legacy-ADSL protocols on any port through software provisioning.

Key to the architecture is what the company calls...
