Timeline

2000: TI acquired Alantro Communications (802.11b chipset) ^[1]
2003: TI acquired Radia Communications (802.11 RFIC) ^[2]
2007: Infineon acquired Texas Instruments DSL Customer Premises

Equipment (CPE) business ^[3], including rights to TI CPE SoCs and some

soon-to-be-obsolete WiSoCs, such as the 3-chip WiSoC chipset based

on Texas Instruments TNETW1350, which became Infineon PSB1350;

Texas Instruments kept the WiLink single-chip Wi-Fi product line.

Currently offering WiLink8, CC3xxx SoC Internet of Things

Puma 3, 4 and 5 Family

Puma 3 - DOCSIS 2.0 Data Modem Solutions

Comprised of high-performance cable modem chips and chipsets, the Puma 3 family is targeted at data-centric

applications. The family offers a range of peripheral interfaces on-chip for added functionality.

TNETC4600/TNETC4602 – High-performance DOCSIS 2.0 data modem chips with the processing power for a variety

of gateway applications. High-level integration reduces bill of materials (BOM) costs.

TNETC430/TNETC436 – A reference design incorporating the TNETC460x integrated cable modem devices,

the TNETC430 and TNETC436 accelerate time-to-market and reduces development risks.

Puma 4 - DOCSIS 2.0 Voice and Data Gateway Modem Solutions

Optimized for high-quality voice services and data gateway applications, the Puma 4

DOCSIS 2.0 voice/data devices have a flexible and extensible architecture.

With DSP and RISC cores, Puma 4 devices have the horsepower and the voice-processing capabilities for advanced

VoIP features that differentiate equipment manufacturers and service providers in the VoCable marketplace.

Many cable operators require battery backup for voice services to ensure emergency

communication service in the event of a power outage.

The TNETC4700 Puma 4 device integrates battery control and charge monitoring functionality on-chip, eliminating

the need for a discrete controller and reducing the system's bill of materials cost substantially.

TNETC4700/4710 – Voice-over-cable modem provides robust integration of all functionality

for an embedded multimedia terminal adapter (EMTA).

TNETC540– A reference design for fast time-to-market, the TNETC540 incorporates

the TNETC4700/4710 and supports high-speed data transfers.

The Puma 5 Family:

Puma 5 chipsets include: TNETC4800 for EMTA applications, TNETC4810 for cost-sensitive EMTA applications,

TNETC4820 for advanced STB and multimedia applications, TNETC4830 for optimized data cable modem applications,

TNETC4840 for data and video applications

TNETC4800 – Full functionality for embedded multimedia terminal applications (EMTA),

including high-quality voice services and battery backup functionality.

TNETC4810 – Full functionality for EMTA applications, including high-quality voice

and without battery backup capabilities.

TNETC4830 – High-speed data-centric cable modem applications.
