DIALOG SEMICONDUCTOR VOIP TECHNOLOGY ADOPTED BY VTECH FOR S-SERIES DESKTOP
PHONES
Ongoing partnership agreement spans multiple phone designs
Kirchheim/Teck, Germany, 7 February 2012 - Dialog Semiconductor plc (FWB:
DLG), a provider of highly integrated innovative power management, audio
and short range wireless technologies, has announced that its ultra low
power Green VoIP chip family has been adopted by VTech, a leading supplier
of cordless and corded phones.
Under the terms of the partnership VTech is using Dialog's SC14452 and
SC14461 VoIP processors and Rhea software suite to produce a series of VoIP
cordless and corded phones. The first of which, the S-series of single and
dual-line phone systems, has been designed for the hotel market and went
into mass production in the fourth quarter of 2011. The design win
successfully extends Dialog's relationship with VTech, which is already
using the company's DECT IC technology in its digital cordless phones.
VTech's S-series VoIP phones incorporate multi-call and multi-handset
capabilities, speakerphone functionality, IEEE802.3af power over Ethernet,
and a USB charging facility, together with an array of other advanced hotel
phone features. Furthermore, the VTech SIP cordless desktop phones
incorporate DECT, CAT-iq and DECT 6.0 with an adjustable coverage area to
deliver improved clarity and installation management.
C.H. Tong, President of VTech Telecommunications Ltd, commented:
'Communications are increasingly done over IP, and our goal is to exceed
user expectations with our VoIP telephony products, providing clear and
reliable communications solutions. Our S-series phones have been designed
first and foremost with audio clarity and ease of use at their heart and
Dialog's VoIP chips and software are the key to achieving this.'
Jalal Bagherli, CEO of Dialog, added: 'VTech is among the world's leading
brand names, especially in the phone market, and is already a customer for
our DECT digital cordless phone ICs. Our close working cooperation has
helped us extend our relationship with this second product line and
integrate our Green VoIP processors into VTech's latest designs.'
The Dialog SC14452 is an award-winning VoIP IC with built-in DECT support
and has the flexibility to meet the diverse needs of users and
manufacturers. It features a 16-bit CompactRISC(TM) processor and two
user-programmable Gen2DSPs to deliver 240-MIPS of computational power. The
device uses a low clock frequency to achieve the industry's lowest power
consumption figures, saving as much as 2W per desktop phone compared with
other solutions. It integrates a 32KHz wideband audio codec, Class D
amplifier and PAEC (Perfect Acoustic Echo Canceller) to deliver exceptional
audio clarity. Its sister device, the SC14461, has all the capabilities of
the SC14452 but without DECT support and is aimed at corded desktop models.
