Low Cost
The CX-9Z-NR0226 incorporates several cost-saving features. The CX93010-
11Z is offered in a small 20-pin Quad Flat No-Lead (QFN) package allowing
for the small yet cost efficient PCB. The CX20548 SmartDAA 4 LSD builds
on three generations of market leading silicon DAA devices. It reduces Bill
of Material (BOM) cost and necessary board space, making it the most
cost efficient silicon DAA in the market. It eliminates the need for costly
analog transformers, relays and opto-isolators typically used in discrete DAA
implementation for country-specific modem configurations. The result is
a worldwide reduced system cost solution using a single bill of materials.
The SmartDAA 4 is system-powered, making it the most reliable and best
performing silicon DAA in the market. The SmartDAA 4 is shipping in
every top PC OEM continuing Conexant’s long tradition of providing the
most Internet connections via analog modems than all of its competitors
combined.
