Abstract:
1. A DSL modem apparatus comprising: an IFFT unit that performs an inverse Fourier transform on transmission data; an FFT unit that performs a Fourier transform on reception data; a processor that executes an initialization sequence according to a protocol; an interleave unit that interleaves transmission data to be input to said lEFT unit after data transmission is initiated; a de-interleave unit that de-interleaves reception data being output from said FFT unit after data transmission is initiated; an interleave memory that is used to open data upon interleaving and/or de-interleaving; and a switch controller that enables said processor to maintain said interleave memory at a usable state during the initialization sequence, and said interleave unit and/or said de-interleave unit to maintain said interleave memory at the usable state after the data transmission is initiated.
