Newport Media Samples ICs for ISDB-T Mobile Digital TV.Sundance J Solution Represents The Addition of a Second Major Digital Mobile TV Standard to Newport Media's Product Line LAKE FOREST, Calif. -- Newport Media, an innovative fabless semiconductor company A fabless semiconductor company specializes in the design and sale of hardware devices implemented on semiconductor chips. It achieves an advantage by outsourcing the fabrication of the devices to a specialized semiconductor manufacturer called a semiconductor foundry or "fab. supplying products to the mobile broadcast media market, today announced that it has begun sampling semiconductor solutions for the mobile version of Japan's Integrated Services In computer networking, IntServ or integrated services is an architecture that specifies the elements to guarantee quality of service (QoS) on networks. IntServ can for example be used to allow video and sound to reach the receiver without interruption. Digital Broadcasting-Terrestrial (ISDB-T ISDB-T Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting - Terrestrial ) digital television standard. Newport Media's Sundance J solution consists of the NMI (NonMaskable Interrupt) A high-priority interrupt that cannot be disabled by another interrupt. It is used to report malfunctions such as parity, bus and math coprocessor errors. NMI - Non-Maskable Interrupt 110 RF tuner and the NMI320 RF tuner and demodulator See demodulate. Demodulator A device used to recover the original modulating signal from a modulated wave. A demodulator is also known as a detector. . Both products support one-segment and three-segment modes of operation and continue in the tradition of Newport Media's Digital Video Broadcasting-Handhelds (DVB-H See mobile TV and DVB. ) and DVB-Terrestrial (DVB-T See DVB. ) products by combining superior performance and best-in-class power consumption. Newport Media will demonstrate its Sundance J solution at 3GSM World Congress 2007 in Barcelona, Feb. 12 - 15. "We are very excited about the prospects for our ISDB-T business in Japan," said Mohy Abdelgany, president and chief executive officer of Newport Media. "The Japanese market has always placed a great deal of emphasis on power consumption, performance and form factor. These attributes are the hallmark of Newport Media's Sundance Series of mobile TV solutions." Newport Media's NMI110 solution features up to 120dB of variable gain, 50dB of image rejection and greater than 55dB of adjacent channel selectivity. In addition, the device has an extremely low 3.0 dB noise figure and a very high +20dBm IP3 while consuming only 60mW of power. The NMI320 is the world's first single IC ISDB-T tuner/demodulator solution. The single chip offering includes a dual-band radio, an ISDB-T one-segment and three-segment demodulator, plus all necessary memory in a very small footprint. No other external memory, baluns or loop filters are required to create a complete solution. The device is manufactured using low-cost, .13-micron complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) Pronounced "c-moss." The most widely used integrated circuit design. It is found in almost every electronic product from handheld devices to mainframes. ) process technology. In addition to DVB-H, mobile DVB-T and ISDB-T, Newport Media's Sundance Series family will support other popular air interface standards including, but not limited to, Terrestrial-Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (T-DMB T-DMB Terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting ) and MediaFLO.
