IRVINE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/03/09 -- Teridian
Semiconductor today announced that Panasonic Communications Co., LTD (NYSE: PC) has selected the 73M1903, a modem analog front end (AFE) device, for their
2009/2010 family of multi-function printers and facsimile products. The
73M1903 is designed for embedded soft modem and voice applications
including multi-function printers (MFP), facsimile terminals, satellite
set-top-boxes, POS terminals, and IP phones.
A single chip solution, the 73M1903 offers many features designed to reduce the
external component count while delivering robust performance with a low
cost transformer DAA. In addition, the 73M1903 is optimized for the region
of operation without the need for additional component costs, a unique
differentiation for Teridian's solution as compared to other silicon DAA
solutions.
Panasonic selected the 73M1903 device to take advantage of the outstanding
bill of materials cost savings and best-in-class performance that the
device offers. In addition, Teridian's 35-year track record of
successfully deploying its modem DAA products was a key factor in the
decision to design the 73M1903 device into their MFP and facsimile
products.
"Panasonic is a world leading supplier of business and consumer printer and
facsimile solutions and we are delighted that the 73M1903 has been selected
for their new product line," said Jay Cormier, vice president and general
manager, Energy Measurement & Communications Business Unit, Teridian
