Interface Modem ICs and Modules are devices used for modulating or demodulating signals transmitted over telephone or cable lines. These devices allow computers to communicate with one another by converting digital data into analog signals that can be transmitted through these communication channels. Modem ICs and Modules support various data formats such as ASK (Amplitude Shift Keying), FSK (Frequency Shift Keying), Bell 202, HART, and various V-series standards including V.21, V.22, V.23, V.32, V.34, V.90, and V.92. They also offer selectable baud rates, which determine the speed at which data is transmitted, with options including 300, 1.2k, 1.8k, 2.4k, 4.8k, 9.6k, 14.4k, 19.2k, 20k, 33.6k, 38.4k, 56k, and 200k. These devices come in different mounting types, including socket, surface mount, or through-hole, providing flexibility for integration into various electronic systems. They are commonly used in applications where communication over telephone or cable lines is required, such as dial-up internet access, fax machines, and telecommunication equipment. In summary, Interface Modem ICs and Modules are devices that facilitate communication between computers over telephone or cable lines. They support various data formats and baud rates, and are available in different mounting types for easy integration into electronic systems requiring such communication capabilities.
