Legerity Announces World's First Single Device Line Interface Solution for the Packet Voice Network.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers Spring VON 2004 AUSTIN, Texas & SANTA CLARA Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 29, 2004 VoiceEdge(tm) 880 Series Products Convert Analog Voice Into Digital Data in a Single Device for Consumer Voice over IP Equipment Legerity Inc., a provider of analog/mixed-signal integrated circuits Integrated circuits Miniature electronic circuits produced within and upon a single semiconductor crystal, usually silicon. Integrated circuits range in complexity from simple logic circuits and amplifiers, about 1/20 in. (1. (ICs) for voice and data networks, announced today at VON 2004 the details of the VE880 Series, its newest VoiceEdge(tm) Architecture product family for network edge equipment at the customer premise. The VE880 VoicePort(tm) Series, is the world's first one channel, two channel and one-and-a-half channel telephone line interface solution to implement all BORSCHT voice functionality, from the high voltage The term high voltage characterizes electrical circuits, in which the voltage used is the cause of particular safety concerns and insulation requirements. High voltage is used in electrical power distribution, in cathode ray tubes, to generate X-rays and particle beams, to subscriber line The line from the customer site to the local telephone company. See subscriber network. interface to the microprocessor digital interface. The new VE880 VoicePort Series reduces system level cost, space and power consumption by achieving the highest levels of integration possible. Legerity's VoicePort single device solution simplifies the customer's design process by minimizing component count and providing the smallest footprint available to the industry, which dramatically lowers system BOM costs and enables the most compact designs possible. Additionally, VoicePort offers footprint compatible solutions, which enable customers to complete a single, worldwide design and populate components based on market requirements, as well as simplify inventory management. "The VE880 VoicePort is a quantum leap quantum leap n. An abrupt change or step, especially in method, information, or knowledge: "War was going to take a quantum leap; it would never be the same" Garry Wills. above the competition, offering high feature flexibility and low power consumption in the world's most highly integrated line interface product family with the smallest physical footprint," said Rick Beale, senior director of marketing. "The VE880 Series simply makes adding voice to broadband access See broadband and wireless broadband. equipment cheaper and easier. This series, in combination with the rest of our VoiceEdge Architecture, will catapult VoIP deployment growth globally." Designers benefit by having a simple, cost effective, low power and dense design without sacrificing features or functionality. The programmable feature rich VoicePort devices provide a functional line interface for short and medium loop applications. Key features include: high voltage switching regulator, self-test, line test capabilities, integrated ringing (up to 140-Vpk), worldwide software programmability, wide band mode, flexible signal generator with tone cadencing and integrated unbalanced ringing. The VoicePort device features are crucial for designing cost-effective, full-feature voice solutions. The VE880 Series is focused on CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) Communications equipment that resides on the customer's premises. CPE - Customer Premises Equipment applications, including analog terminal adapters and voice-enabled 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 and cable modems. It is designed to complement the VE790 Series, the other half of the VoiceEdge Architecture focused on carrier applications. The VE880 series is targeted at $2.50 per channel in high volume.
