Panasonic Communications Co., LTD, a provider in the development and manufacture of electronic products for a wide range of consumer, business and industrial needs, has selected Teridian Semiconductor’s 73M1903, a modem analog front end device, for their 2009-2010 family of multi-function printers and facsimile products.

 

According to Teridian officials, the 73M1903 is designed for embedded soft modem and voice applications including multi-function printers, facsimile terminals, satellite set-top-boxes, POS terminals and IP phones.

 

Company officials claimed that a single chip solution – the 73M1903 – offers many features designed to reduce the external component count while delivering robust performance with a low cost transformer DAA.

 

The 73M1903, company officials said, is optimized for the region of operation without the need for additional component costs, a unique differentiation for Teridian’s solution as compared to other silicon DAA solutions.

 

Panasonic (News - Alert) officials said that the company selected the 73M1903 device to take advantage of the outstanding bill of materials cost savings and best-in-class performance that the device offers.

 

“Panasonic is a world leading supplier of business and consumer printer and facsimile solutions and we are delighted that the 73M1903 has been selected for their new product line,” said Jay Cormier, vice president and general manager, energy measurement and communications business unit, Teridian Semiconductor, in a statement.

 

Cormier said that through the single chip modem front end solutions, the company is committed to simplifying designs and reducing system costs while achieving the highest levels of performance. The 73M1903 is one example of this achievement, he added.

Teridian Semiconductor designs, manufactures and provides engineering support for its system-on-chip integrated circuits used in the energy measurement, control and communication markets, and networking and secure access systems.

 

In May, Teridian Semiconductor had announced the availability of its first system-on-a-chip for power outlet measurement and monitoring.
