About Microsemi Line Circuits

 

miSLIC Series
The miSLIC Series provides the most economical solution for adding two channels of voice to broadband  applications, such as residential gateways, IAD, eMTAs and FTTX applications. The miSLIC Series supports ringing and system power management, enabling energy efficient control of two telephone lines and meeting the European Code of Conduct specifications. The miSLIC device together with the new patent pending shared buck boost automatic battery switching (BBABS) power supply design are Microsemi's most economical RBOM for two channels of voice.
ZL880 Series
The ZL880 Series features low power, dual-channel wideband foreign exchange service (FXS) voice solutions for broadband residential gateways, eMTAs and FTTX applications.
VE890 Series
The VE890 Series targets low-cost residential gateways, especially DSL IADs and some ATAs that often require a single FXS line and/or an FXO interface. The VE890 Series of chipsets enable all popular voice interface options in DSL IADs including 1 FXS, 1 FXO, 2 FXS, 2 FXO, 1 FXS + 1 FXO and 2 FXS + 1 FXO. The Series offers full worldwide programmability, requires very few external components and meets the European Code of Conduct power requirements.
VE950 Series
The VE950 Series offers high-performance, voice-over-broadband SLIC devices with universal differential ringing and codec interfaces optimized for short loop, power-sensitive applications. The VE950 products are designed to interface to residential gateway SoCs with integrated analog codecs.
