Radicom's SlimModem2 Is Available

Radicom Research announces immediate availability of its SlimModem2, a direct pin-for-pin replacement that outperforms the Conexant SocketModem with more features. The SlimModem2 is a slim-profile voice/data/fax module featuring ultra-low power consumption and a footprint that integrates easily into a wide range of existing OEM product configurations.

Measuring just 1.0" x 2.5" x 0.2", the SlimModem2 is loaded with advanced features that allow embedded applications designers to add modem functionality to virtually any product platform without taxing engineering resources. It requires only a serial TTL interface and phone line access to provide data, fax and voice operation. The modem's fast connection provides a simple but effective approach to data collecting, logging, remote diagnostics and communications.

The SlimModem2 is EN60601-1 Medical Device EMC compliant. It meets all RoHS compliance directives, bears the CE Marking, and conforms to all standards required for immediate shipping to Europe and most countries.

The SlimModem2 is fully self-contained and includes a built-in data pump, modem controller and on-board International DAA. Standard features include data rates from 300 bps up to 56 kbps, 14.4 kbps fax rate, voice playback and recording.

Summary of Features:
- Pin-for-pin compatible with SocketModem
- -40oC to +85oC operating temperature
- RoHS complaint
- CE Marking
- Meets EN60601-1 directives
- Supports 3.3V to 5V operation
- 14.4 kbps up to 56 kbps data speeds downstream

Designers can choose features required per their product specifications, or choose from one of Radicom's proven off-the-shelf designs. Handset interrupt, line-in-use and connection detection features allow the modem to share a phone line with other equipment, eliminating the cost of a dedicated phone line. Features like DTMF tone detection and generation, voice record and playback allow the ultimate flexibility for system designers to easily implement the SlimModem2's versatile functionality into their products.

The SlimModem2 serial TTL interface comes with an optional low-power sleep mode feature and call-waiting detection, and operates with standard AT commands. Built-in digital line guard protection automatically detects an overcurrent on tip and ring, preventing the modem from being damaged when accidentally connected to a digital telephone system.
