About Cicada Semiconductor Cicada Semiconductor is a leading developer of DSP (1) (Digital Signal Processor) A special-purpose CPU used for digital signal processing applications (see definition #2 below). It provides ultra-fast instruction sequences, such as shift and add, and multiply and add, which are commonly used in math-intensive and mixed signal based silicon solutions that enable broadband communications within Local, Wide, and Storage Area Networks. Using proprietary design and simulation methodologies and Cicada's extensive expertise in providing digital communication solutions, the Company designs, develops, and manufactures integrated circuits for some of the most significant broadband communications markets, including high-speed Local Area Networking (Gigabit Ethernet), telecommunications (T3), and broadband Internet access Broadband Internet access, often shortened to just "broadband", is high speed Internet access—typically contrasted with dial-up access over modem. Dial-up modems are generally only capable of a maximum bitrate of 56 kbit/s (kilobits per second) and require the full use of a (DSL DSL in full Digital Subscriber Line Broadband digital communications connection that operates over standard copper telephone wires. It requires a DSL modem, which splits transmissions into two frequency bands: the lower frequencies for voice (ordinary ). Additional information is available at www.cicada-semi.com. |
