Conexant Announces Family of Next-Generation Coprocessors for Voice over IP
Applications; New VoIP/VoDSL Solutions Built on Field-Proven Technology
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Jan. 24, 2005
Conexant Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CNXT), a worldwide
leader in semiconductor solutions for broadband communications,
enterprise networks and the digital home, today introduced a new suite
of voice coprocessors for consumer and small-to-medium business
applications. The CX9041X family of devices is targeted at products
including voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) phones, analog terminal
adaptors (ATAs), digital subscriber line (DSL) voice routers,
integrated access devices (IADs), and multi-tenant unit/multi-dwelling
unit (MTU/MDU) voice and data systems. The new coprocessors can be
used in conjunction with Conexant's ADSL semiconductor solutions and
home network processors to create comprehensive system solutions for
VoIP-capable terminals. To help manufacturers reduce product
development cycles, Conexant also offers a suite of reference designs
based on the CX9041X product family.
"Our next-generation voice coprocessors provide higher levels of
integration and features, enabling manufacturers to cost-effectively
deliver increased functionality in their VoIP product offerings," said
Zeev Collin, vice president of Voice Access Products for Conexant. "We
are committed to evolving our VoIP roadmap in combination with our
rich portfolio of access, networking and media processing technologies
to provide users with a broad set of integrated IP-based voice, data
and media features."
Conexant has a long heritage in voice band processing, and holds
an extensive intellectual property portfolio in voice processing and
coding technology. The company's field-proven voice technology has
enabled more than 100 million voice/data modems, and has been
incorporated in millions of voice ports and wireless cellular
telephones. The company's VoIP products include voice coprocessors and
codecs for the easy addition of voice to networked devices, complete
system solutions including network processors, and a suite of
application software and board reference designs.
Voice coprocessors compress and decompress voice packets from
telephone lines or handsets to a host network processor over a
parallel interface bus. The host processor can be one of several home
network processors offered by Conexant, including the CX82100 and the
CX86202, or one of the company's ADSL router solutions.
Conexant's CX9041X coprocessors are offered in configurations
capable of processing one or two independent voice channels
concurrently with caller ID. Each channel can run compression and
decompression algorithms according to the ITU-T G.7xx series of codecs
that are commonly used in VoIP and voice over DSL (VoDSL) services. In
addition, the devices include an acoustic echo canceller (AEC) for
speakerphone applications. The CX9041X coprocessors also enable the
easy implementation of Foreign Exchange Office (FXO) applications by
interfacing to Conexant's CX20493 worldwide SmartDAA device for public
switched telephone network (PSTN) line interface and analog-to-digital
and digital-to-analog conversion.
Packaging, Availability and Pricing
The CX90411 and CX94012 are available in 64-pin quad flat pack no
lead (QFN) packages. The CX90410 is packaged in an 80-pin plastic quad
flat pack (PQFP) and is pin compatible with Conexant's CX9168 voice
coprocessor. The CX9041X voice coprocessor family is in volume
production now. The devices are priced at less than $8 for two voice
channels and at less than $6 for one voice channel in quantities of
10,000 each.
