Silicon Laboratories Introduces Industry's Most Integrated Fax Modem Solution; New Fax ISOmodem(R) Embedded Modems Expand Silicon Laboratories' Modem Portfolio.AUSTIN, Texas -- Silicon Laboratories Inc. (Nasdaq:SLAB) today announced the Si2417 and Si2435 fax ISOmodem(R) embedded modems, the industry's most integrated, smallest footprint fax modems. The Si2417 and Si2435 offer an easy-to-use, globally-compliant, compact fax modem solution for multi-function printers and stand-alone fax machines. Leveraging Silicon Laboratories' market leading silicon DAA DAA - Distributed Application Architecture: under design by Hewlett-Packard and Sun. A distributed object management environment that will allow applications to be developed independent of operating system, network or windowing system. technology, the fax ISOmodem family reduces board space and external components by more than 50 percent when compared to discrete solutions. Unlike memory-mapped controllerless modems, the fax ISOmodem embedded modems use an internal modem A modem that plugs into an expansion slot within the computer. Unlike an external modem, an internal modem does not provide a series of display lights that inform the user of the changing modem states. The user must rely entirely on the communications program. Contrast with external modem. controller allowing for standard AT commands to control fax transactions. This simplifies system design, reducing development resources and time-to-market. The fax ISOmodems are full-featured embedded modems complete with an easy-to-use UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) The electronic circuit that makes up the serial port. Also known as "universal serial asynchronous receiver transmitter" (USART), it converts parallel bytes from the CPU into serial bits for transmission, and vice interface, integrated ROM, RAM and a digital signal processor A digital signal processor (DSP) is a specialized microprocessor designed specifically for digital signal processing, generally in real-time computing.

(2) See push-to-talk. PTT - Post, Telephone and Telegraph administration standards, Silicon Laboratories' fax ISOmodem solution enables global compliance and interoperability. The Si2417 and Si2435 support fax rates up to 14.4 kbps and 33.6 kbps, respectively. "We are extending our market leading modem technology into the established fax market," said Dave Bresemann, vice president of Silicon Laboratories. "By offering the highest surge immunity, lowest power, excellent thermal reliability and global compatibility, we are eliminating many of the design headaches associated with integrating fax modems into multi-function printers and other equipment." The ISOmodem embedded modems minimize processor and software resources and decrease development efforts, enabling rapid and simple modem integration. With more than 100 issued or pending patents related to this technology, Silicon Laboratories' modem solutions are field proven to meet global PTT, emissions, immunity and safety compliance. Pricing and Availability Samples of the new Si2417 and Si2435 fax ISOmodems are available now. Pricing begins at $7.13 in 10K quantities.
