Si2493/Si2457/Si2434/Si2415/Si2404 Modem Designers Guide
Introduction
This application note is intended to supplement the
Si2493/Si2457/Si2434/Si2415 and Si2404 data sheets
and is divided into two sections: The “Hardware Design
Reference” and the “Software Design Reference”. The
Hardware Design Reference provides functional
descriptions and information necessary to design
ISOmodem
®
hardware. Chipset specifications can be
found in the respective data sheets. The Software
Design Reference includes information on how to
control the functionality of the modem with AT
commands and register settings. Particular topics of
interest in either design reference can be easily located
through the “Table of Contents” or the comprehensive
index located at the back of this document.
The Hardware Design Reference is divided into three
sections. The first section describes the modulations
and protocols supported by the chipset. The modem
and DAA chip operation is described, and a reference
design including a suggested bill-of-materials is
presented. Silicon Laboratories also has printed circuit
board layout files available separately. These include
double-sided and single-sided layouts with options for
through-hole isolation components. Additionally,
evaluation boards, useful for evaluating the modem
chipset or for initial prototyping work, are available.
Check with your Silicon Laboratories salesperson or
distributor for more details.
The Software Design Reference consists of sections
focused on the modem controller, memory, and digital
interface. The modem controller section includes a
complete description of AT commands, “fast connect”
options, transparent HDLC/V.80 mode, escape
methods, and default settings. The memory section
describes the EEPROM interface, S-Registers, and U-
Registers including bit-mapped registers used to
configure both the modem chip and the line-side DAA
chip. The digital interface chapter provides details about
the serial and parallel interface capability of the modem.
Additionally, there are several programming examples,
a section on testing, and a comprehensive section with
configuration settings for most countries.
