Teridian Introduces World's First Single-Package DAA Modem Solution.Highly Cost-Competitive 73M1822 and 73M1922 Devices Join Legendary Modem Portfolio IRVINE, Calif. -- Teridian Semiconductor Teridian Semiconductor or TSC is a fabless semiconductor company designing and selling mixed-signal ICs, located in Irvine, California. Products Teridian makes network products, especially Ethernet physical-layer integrated circuits, and single-chip telephone Corp. today announced the availability of the two newest members of its popular modem product portfolio, the 73M1822 and 73M1922 MicroDAA[TM] chipsets. Both solutions incorporate direct access arrangement (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 for data/fax modem and voice applications, and provide the necessary functionality and protection required for worldwide homologation Certification, confirmation or approval. Data communications equipment is often subject to the homologation requirements of various countries. . These devices are ideal for applications such as high-speed voice band data modems, satellite set-top boxes, fax/multifunction peripherals (MFP (MultiFunction Printer, MultiFunction Peripheral) See all-in-one and MFD. ), point-of-sale (POS (1) See point of sale and packet over SONET. (2) "Parent over shoulder." See digispeak. POS - point of sale ) terminals, and other embedded modem applications. "With over two decades of leadership in modem design, Teridian continues its innovation in silicon DAA technology setting new standards in reliability, cost and performance," said Steve McClure, vice president of marketing for Teridian Semiconductor. "The 73M1x22 is a third-generation silicon DAA whose performance overcomes limitations in loop reach, offers best-in-class return loss, and supports programmable global compliance using a single low cost bill of materials The list of components that make up a system. For example, a bill of materials for a house would include the cement block, lumber, shingles, doors, windows, plumbing, electric, heating and so on. ." As a pioneer in silicon DAA technology for more than 15 years, Teridian has introduced the first single package silicon DAA solution, 73M1822. The device uses an inexpensive common pulse transformer that forms a digital isolation barrier, transferring both power and data to the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) The worldwide voice telephone network. Once only an analog system, the heart of most telephone networks today is all digital. In the U.S. line side components. This technology is also available for extended isolation requirements as a chip set, 73M1922. The result is reliable performance in the presence of EMI (ElectroMagnetic Interference) An electrical disturbance in a system due to natural phenomena, low-frequency waves from electromechanical devices or high-frequency waves (RFI) from chips and other electronic devices. Allowable limits are governed by the FCC. and line voltage variations. The Teridian family of modems provides one of the broadest selections of semiconductor products for today's set-top box, voice band data modems, point-of-sale (POS) terminals, fax and MFP, text telephony and other embedded telemetry telemetry Highly automated communications process by which data are collected from instruments located at remote or inaccessible points and transmitted to receiving equipment for measurement, monitoring, display, and recording. applications. Teridian additionally offers extensive firmware libraries and reference designs to significantly shorten customer development and certification time. Pricing and Availability Volume production for the 73M1822 and 73M1922 solutions are in June; pricing is available upon request. Data sheets and development kits for both devices are also available now, and include a ready-to-use board with an actual 73M1822 or 73M1922 ICs, with firmware and software libraries and a reference design.
