2.0 Data Cable Modem Design
TNETC43x: DOCSIS* 2.0 Data
Cable Modem Reference Design
The TNETC43x cable modem reference designs provide cable modem developers with
quick time-to-market and a low-risk certification for DOCSIS* and Euro-DOCSIS 1.0/1.1/2.0
cable modems. This platform jumpstarts development efforts by providing a reference
board utilizing the TNETC460x integrated cable modem chip with proven DOCSIS and
Euro-DOCSIS software.
The TNETC43x designs were conceived with cost and robust design in mind. Based on
the integrated TNETC460x chip, these reference designs deliver a low-cost, low-risk
cable modem solution on a small circuit board footprint. Moreover, TNETC43x features
proven DOCSIS software, making it certification-ready.
The TNETC43x is a full-featured cable modem with 10/100 BaseT MAC/PHY and USB 1.1
interfaces, standby button and status LED indicators.
The TNETC460x is DOCSIS 2.0-compliant, and it supports high-speed data transfers up
to 38 Mbps downstream and 30 Mbps upstream.
The TNETC43x offers a convenient and trustworthy platform for the integration of compre-
hensive solutions for quick development of a cost-effective and differentiated cable modem.
