ANALOG FRONT-END DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR DSL

In this chapter, the author has described analog front-end design considerations for DSL. In order to have the optimum system, analog engineers need to understand the whole system and assess different options at the system level. For an actual mixed-signal chip design, analog engineers also face many options. Trade-offs between external and internal components, analog and digital, and trade-offs among different circuits and circuit techniques have to be made in order to have a competitive mixed-signal chip for a specific communication system.
