SiTel's latest Green VoIP processor brings industry-leading power savings to the low-end enterprise VoIP market
‘s-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands, 4 January 2011 - SiTel Semiconductor today announced that its new SC14461 Green VoIP processor is at the heart of LG-Ericsson's recently-launched IP8802 low-end enterprise VoIP desktop phone. The SC14461 is the latest member of SiTel's Green VoIP processor range, which delivers record low power consumption figures in typical applications, and the first to explicitly target the cost-sensitive, low-end VoIP market.
The SC14461 offers a limited feature set to meet the constraints of the low-end VoIP market. Yet it still handles 3-way conference calling and delivers crystal clear sound quality thanks to SiTel's Perfect Acoustic Echo Canceller (PAEC). It also supports all IP security protocols including TLS-SRTP and DTLS-SRTP.
Based on the same proven multi-core architecture as previous Green VoIP processors, the low-cost SC14461 is pin-to-pin compatible with the more advanced SC14452 Green VoIP processor which also supports DECT. This makes it easier for IP phone manufacturers to develop a complete range of products to address all price points, allowing businesses of all sizes to introduce energy- and money-saving VoIP phones throughout their organization.
"Energy-saving and excellent sound quality are no longer features that can only be offered in mid-range and high-end desktops. Powered by SiTel's SC14461, our IP8802 brings these essential qualities to the low-end enterprise VoIP market. Like all our IP phones, it is cost-effective, simple to install and easy to use, and offers a range of features tailored to its price point to ensure an excellent user experience," said ST Park, Head of Enterprise Solution R&D center division LG-Ericsson.
LG-Ericsson is using the SC14461 in its new IP8802 enterprise VoIP desktop phone. The IP8802 is a cost-effective and energy-saving entry-level phone with a feature list designed for cubicle workers, retail stores, classrooms and manufacturing floors. It includes two 10/100 Base-T Fast Ethernet ports, a half-duplex speakerphone and a graphical 128 x 32 pixel monochrome LCD.
"As a leading VoIP chipset supplier, our Green VoIP processor range is a key part of our commitment to environmentally friendly solutions. These state-of-the-art VoIP chips enable energy efficient phones that offer best-in-class features and audio quality. The SC14461 and LG-Ericsson's decision to use it in their new desktop phone are evidence of both the maturity of the Green VoIP range and its value in low-end applications," said Mark De Clercq, Product Marketing Manager at SiTel.

SMSC (NASDAQ: SMSC), a leading semiconductor company creating valued connectivity ecosystems, today introduced its LAN9730, the industry’s first fully integrated Hi-Speed Inter-Chip (HSIC) USB 2.0 to-10/100 Ethernet device. The LAN9730 device was designed to deliver power consumption and bill of material savings to OEM and ODM designers of a wide range of embedded systems and consumer electronics devices.
HSIC, which incorporates SMSC’s patented Inter-Chip Connectivity™ (ICC) technology, enables the USB 2.0 protocol, which is now standard in billions of electronic devices, to be delivered over short distances while retaining 100 percent software compatibility with an analog USB 2.0 connection. AMD and Samsung have recently joined NVIDIA, Qualcomm and others in licensing ICC from SMSC to enable HSIC communication from their portable System-on-a-Chip (SoCs) to peripheral USB 2.0 devices. HSIC has been adopted as part of the USB 2.0 standard and dramatically decreases power consumption in applications such as battery-powered portable devices requiring an Ethernet port. The LAN9730 offers an integrated 10/100 physical layer and multiple power management enhancements, including Magic Packet and Link Status Change as well as “Wake on LAN” mode, which allows systems to enter a low power state and wake on desired network traffic, thereby conserving resources during downtimes.
“Performance, flexibility in design and power savings are all critical design elements inherent in SMSC’s line of networking solutions,” said Rolf Mahler, Vice President and General Manager of SMSC’s Networking Solutions group. “For embedded and consumer applications, this device can leverage our patented ICC technology to reduce power consumption and silicon area compared to a standard analog USB 2.0 interface.”
The latest in SMSC’s growing family of USB-to-Ethernet solutions, the new LAN9730 is compliant with USB specification 1.1 and 2.0 as well as IEEE 802.3/802.3u Ethernet standards. Additionally the LAN9730 needs only a single 25MHz crystal to drive both the USB and Ethernet PHYs, thereby reducing developer BOM cost.
SMSC’s integrated USB-based networking solution provides added flexibility for the routing and placement of network connections anywhere in the developer’s system. Additionally, the LAN9730 supports a wide range of drivers for the most recent versions of Windows?, Mac? and Linux? operating systems. The LAN9730 is ideal for applications such as battery-powered portable devices that also require Ethernet connectivity.
The LAN9730 is available in a small form factor 8x8mm 56-pin QFN package, which is lead-free and RoHS compliant. It is available in both commercial (0 to 70 degree Celsius) and industrial (-40 to +85 degree Celsius) temperature ranges. Qualification samples and evaluation kits are available now with mass production slated for the end of January 2012.
SMSC is a leading developer of Smart Mixed-Signal Connectivity™ solutions. SMSC employs a unique systems level approach that incorporates a broad set of technologies and intellectual property to deliver differentiating products to its customers. The company is focused on delivering connectivity solutions that enable the proliferation of data in personal computers, automobiles, portable consumer devices and other applications.
