Leading Demodulator Chip for Digital Satellite TV Now Available as Tested Bare Die 12 October 2004, 09:30am ET OTTAWA, Oct. 12 /CNW Telbec/ - Zarlink Semiconductor (NYSE/TSX:ZL) today announced that its industry-leading QPSK (quadrature phase shift keying) demodulator for digital satellite TV systems is now available as a fully tested bare die product, or KGD (known good die). Introduced in August 2004, the ZL10313 chip remains available as a fully packaged product. Engineers designing complex consumer media systems face the challenge of incorporating increasingly advanced features into reduced spaces, with aggressive cost and time-to-market restrictions. By supplying the ZL10313 demodulator in KGD form, Zarlink is increasing the packaging options for system and sub-system designers, while continuing to deliver maximum functionality in leading-edge designs. Bare die are ideally suited for use in high-density designs, such as MCMs (multi-chip modules) in combined satellite tuners/demodulator front-ends. The unpackaged die provide designers with higher levels of integration, while reducing the weight and height of components. ... http://finance.lycos.com/qc/news/story.aspx?story=200410121330_CNW_c9108 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can UNSUBSCRIBE from the OpenDTV list in two ways: - Using the UNSUBSCRIBE command in your user configuration settings at FreeLists.org - By sending a message to: opendtv-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
