* Derivative telephony-specific micro-controllers (PCD33xx-family); the largest range of configurations and performance options, including low-voltage devices operating down to 1.8V. 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. * Low-voltage one-time-programmable (OTP) devices, including the PCD3755/56 series, still the lowest-voltage OTPs available. A DETAILED REFERENCE SOURCE * Bipolar transistors, regulators and protection diodes. 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. * 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. 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. UNRIVALLED RESOURCES 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. 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. 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: CUSTOMER CO-OPERATION Co-operation with customers is vital for securing market acceptance of customers' products and our own.
