ST20138
Unicorn II
PCI/USB ADSL CHIPSET: ST70138 + MTC20174
FOR ULTRA LOW COST ADSL MODEM
DATA BRIEF
1
DESCRIPTION
The Unicorn II chipset is designed to simplify the
development of low-cost ADSL CPE modems for
Windows, Mac and Linux based environments and
enables manufacturers to achieve a very competitive production cost. Due to its controller-less architecture and particularly the advantage that it
does not require an external SDRAM in its E-BOM,
the total cost of the external components needed
in the modem is the best in its class. With a low
component count of less then 140 external components and small form factor packages, the Unicorn
II easily fits on a standard 2 layer single sided PCB
with small dimensions which contributes significantly to further lowering overall system costs. Together with its low power consumption, highspeed performance up to 8 Mbps and customizable complete software driver packages, the Unicorn II is the ideal choice for USB and PCI based
ADSL modems.
The Unicorn II chipset consists of the digital
ST70138 chip and the MTC20174 analog front
end.
The ST70138 is supplied in two packages,
TQFP144 and LBGA80. The ST70138T packaged
in TQ144 is a pin-to-pin compatible version of the
ST70137 enabling manufacturers to benefit directly from the cost and performance advantages that
the ST70138 brings.
The TQ144 flavor brings out both the USB and PCI
interfaces. Supplied in a compact USB-only
LBGA80 package, the ST70138B brings additional cost advantages to new designs.
The MTC20174 Analog Front End (AFE) with integrated line driver is designed for DMT based
ADSL CPE modems compliant with ANSI T1.413
issue 2, ITU G.992.1 (G.dmt) and ITU G.992.2
(G.lite), for Annex A, B and C.

DESCRIPTION
Unicorn II is an evolution of the field-proven and
mass deployed Unicorn modem that dramatically
lowers the overall system cost when designing
and producing a USB ADSL modem. The Unicorn
II chipset is designed using cost effective CMOS
technology, further integrating external components which leads to even lower E-BOM costs, reduced component count and lower PCB
complexity; All of this while increasing overall performance. Its proven controller-less and SDRAMless architecture is highly competitive and well
suited in today's cost focused modem market.
The Unicorn II chipset is designed to simplify the
development of low-cost ADSL CPE modems for
Windows, Mac and Linux based environments and
enables manufacturers to achieve a very competitive production cost. Due to its controller-less architecture and particularly the advantage that it
does not require an external SDRAM in its E-BOM,
the total cost of the external components needed

The ST70138T/B is the ADSL DMT transceiver
chip of the UNICORN2™ Chipset.
ST70138T in intended to be used as a pin-to-pin
replacement part of the ST70137 device in order
to get advantage from its better cost-structure and
its enhanced FTP transfer capabilities. ST70138T
is packaged in a TQ144 package. Full backward
compatibility with already existing USB PCB designs is assured.
ST70138B, packaged in LFBGA80 is intended for
new PCB designs, which will benefit from extensive E-BOM reduction in the reference design,
mass production friendly EEPROM programmation, enhanced FTP throughput and overall lower
system cost structures.
Eleven years of experience have enabled ST to develop a chipset that offers full compatibility with all
current full-rate and G.lite ADSL standards, USB
standards including plug-and-play support. The Unicorn II chipset has a comprehensive driver suite that
supports Windows operating systems from 98 to XP,
Mac operating systems 8 to X and Linux. The Unicorn
is fully interoperable with all major DSLAMs and is
compliant to TR-048 (DSLforum) and ETSI 101 388
