The market for integrated chips (or System on Chip) is becoming vastly competitive as each chip manufacturer is adding further functionality into the silicon. Together with the device functionality, each vendor needs to add a further completed software solution or else it will not be able to sell the device. Recognizing this trend, AudioCodes has developed a ready to use ATA reference design (Software and Hardware) based on the AC494 System on Chip.

The Tulip AC494 ATA is a complete, ready to use Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA) reference design. Utilizing AudioCodes field proven VoIP software and the integrated AC494 System on Chip (SoC), the Tulip provides OEMs and ODMs an excellent and cost effective solution for the rapidly growing residential and Small Office / Home Office (SOHO) VoIP market.

The Tulip AC494 ATA reference design was carefully developed to meet Analog Telephone Adapter requirements. Customers are able to use the Tulip software to give it their own look and feel. This is possible with flexible and configurable software.

Analog Telephony Adaptor for Broadband

Broadband access OEMs (xDSL, Cable, Wireless) will find the Tulip a quick and efficient addition to their products, affixing feature rich VoIP functionality to their access device in a short time period with ease of integration.

Cost Effective Analog Telephony Adaptor Design

The Tulip AC494 ATA reference design is cost effective as it optimizes its cost per application by offering a single or dual FXS port/s. The Tulip has a cost effective Bill of Materials (BOM) to support aggressive market cost demands. An extra data port gives the option to connect a PC to the ATA without supplementary hardware. Special care was given to the hardware and PCB designs to decrease customers’ investment in homologation processes.

The Tulip is another innovative, cost-effective development produced by AudioCodes. Residential Gateway Application:
