Cirrus Logic Adds "Plug-And-Play" For Windows 95 To Its Modem Chips.FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 14, 1995--Cirrus Logic Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :CRUS crus (krus) pl. cru´ra [L.] 1. leg (1). 2. a leglike part. crus ce´rebri ) today announced a pin-compatible upgrade to its CL-MD1414UN V.32bis data/fax/voice modem chip set. This two chip set is the industry's most-integrated international modem solution, and its latest feature supports the Plug-and-Play specification within the Windows(R) 95 environment. Eliminating the need for manual set-up the chip set works with the new operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. to automatically configure the modem for a robust suite of features. Similar to current modem products from Cirrus Logic (company) Cirrus Logic - A manufacturer of integrated circuits including the Advanced RISC Machine and display interface processors and cards for use as Windows accelerators (requiring dedicated driver software). http://cirrus.com/. , the chip set incorporates Radish's VoiceView(TM) Protocol, an alternating voice and data protocol which is also supported in Windows 95. In addition, Cirrus Logic will now provide as an option, a license to VocalTec's Internet Phone software which provides full-duplex telephone conversations over the Internet. "Our customers are enthusiastic about incorporating our Plug-and-Play modem into their Windows 95 computers," said Raphael Mehrbians, Senior Product Marketing Manager for Cirrus Logic. "Making PCs user-friendly is the driving force behind Windows 95, and our new modem promises to be a leading example of Plug-and-Play user friendliness." The CL-MD1414UN combines Plug-and-Play, data, fax, and VoiceView Protocol capabilities in only two chips. The VoiceView Protocol is an open protocol that provides voice and data communications during a single standard telephone conversation using a switching mechanism, allowing text, graphics, and files to be transferred or displayed on a computer screen. VoiceView is an ideal protocol for on-line hardware and software technical support, and it also enables modem video game play while talking to your opponent. The chip set works in conjunction with the Internet Phone software from VocalTec. This gives the user a revolutionary way to communicate by enabling users to have real-time conversations over the Internet. It is the answer for anyone looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment. Antithesis of in touch with. an inexpensive and easy way to communicate globally using voice over the Internet, which currently serves more than 25 million users. This chip set provides the smallest V.32bis form factor for domestic and international communication applications. It provides the necessary flexibility to design products for international, and firmware-upgradable modem applications, and supports all international communications standards. In addition, the PC-Card (formerly called PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association, San Jose, CA, www.pcmcia.org) An international standards body and trade association that was founded in 1989 to establish a standard for connecting peripherals to portable computers. PCMCIA created the PC Card. See PC Card. ) version of this chip set has also been updated.

This allows for higher voice sample rates, which enables the user to receive high quality voice transmissions. Packaging, Pricing, and Availability The digital signal microprocessor (DSmP) of the CL-MD1414UN is packaged in a 128-pin "shrink" quad flat pack (SQFP See QFP. ). The DSmP of the CL-MD1414UNP is packaged in a 120-pin very-thin quad flat pack (VQFP VQFP Very Thin Quad Flat Package VQFP Very small Quad Flat Package VQFP very-fine-pitch quad flat pack ). The sigma-delta analog front end (SAFE) is packaged in a 44-pin VQFP. Pricing for the chip set in quantities of 1,000 is $40. Sample quantities will be available in the third quarter, with volume production planned for the fourth quarter.
