PREFACE
Thank you for your interest in wired telecom products from
Philips Semiconductors. As a leading supplier to the
telephony market, we offer a wide range of discrete and
integrated semiconductor telecom components.
A DETAILED REFERENCE SOURCE
This wired telecom handbook includes information on
Philips Semiconductors’ current integrated circuits and
discrete products for wired applications. The products offer
a comprehensive solution for wired telephony terminals,
from line-interfaces, tone and pulse diallers and discrete
devices, though to caller-identification decoders, digital
answering-machine processors, hands-free circuits and
LCD drivers.
To make selection easier, information is grouped into
sections, each accompanied by a product selection guide,
which describes the most significant product features.
Each section contains detailed product descriptions in the
form of data sheets. A new section entitled ‘DSP-based
solutions’ has been added, consolidating the existing
product portfolio and extending its range to
highly-integrated multi-function telephone terminals.
Relevant application notes are published in the Application
Handbook for Wired Telecom Systems (IC03b). Together
IC03 part a) and b) provides a comprehensive reference
source for wired telephony, including not only details about
Philips Semiconductors’ products, but also how best to
apply them.
COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTIONS
Philips Semiconductors is a recognised leader in enabling
technologies, system-level know-how, silicon, software
and product development resources to help customers
take full advantage of one of the fastest-growing markets
in the world. Specifically the company is a leading
innovator of products for:
•Caller Identification
•DSP-based solutions: digital answering machine
processors, offering full-duplex speakerphone and the
highest speech-compression rates on the market.
•Speech and Transmission circuits.
•Listening-in and hands-free circuits.
•Diallers and DTMF generators.
•Derivative telephony-specific micro-controllers
(PCD33xx-family); the largest range of configurations
and performance options, including low-voltage devices
operating down to 1.8V.
•Low-voltage one-time-programmable (OTP) devices,
including the PCD3755/56 series, still the lowest-voltage
OTPs available.
•Bipolar transistors, regulators and protection diodes.
•LCD display drivers (available additionally as naked die
or as chip-on-glass module assemblies).
TECHNOLOGY LEADER
Implementation of cost-effective Telecom terminals
demands a broad knowledge, not only at the systems
level, but also at the interconnection and component level.
Philips Semiconductors’ state-of-the art fabrication and
packaging expertise provides the technology needed for
today’s demanding applications, together with the
reliability and quality levels customers have come to rely
upon from one of the world’s top-ten semiconductor
companies.
UNRIVALLED RESOURCES
Philips Semiconductors has one of the widest portfolios of
technology in semiconductors to meet the needs of the
wired telephony market. World-class designs, advanced
fabrication processes and up-to-date manufacturing plans
and logistics have established Philips Semiconductors as
a world supplier. Quality Assurance is based on
internationally-accepted quality standards such as
ISO9000 and QA9000, as well as customer-specific
standards such as Ford’s TQE and AT&T’s “Partner in
Excellence.
CUSTOMER CO-OPERATION
Co-operation with customers is vital for securing market
acceptance of customers’ products and our own. In
addition, we believe that technical partnerships are
extremely important for stimulating further development of
advanced Telecom technology, and have successful

partnerships with major Telecom systems suppliers and
terminal makers.
WORLD-WIDE RESEARCH AND DESIGN-IN SUPPORT
Over 12 per cent of our turnover is invested back into
research and development, covering process technology,
design, system innovation, type/product development and
assembly technology. The result is over 300 new devices
per year, along with new technology and process
developments, software and services.
We have our own System Laboratories, which explore new
uses and applications; act as design and development
laboratories to uncover potential problems from customers
and help them develop their products faster through
shared development; and replicate customer engineering
efforts in-house.
Product Development Teams located at our manufacturing
and development sites are technology-oriented. Many of
our new products are the direct result of work done by the
Development Teams, working alone, or in conjunction with
groups in the Research or Systems Laboratories.
