SLIC solution, ‘industry’s most integrated’

Silicon Laboratories has announced what it describes as the industry's most integrated, cost effective and power efficient subscriber line interface circuit (slic) solution for voice over IP (VoIP) gateways.

According to the mixed signal/analogue IC specialist, the Si3226x Dual ProSLIC range delivers the smallest bill of materials and board area and the lowest power consumption of any dual slic available. SiLabs says the family provides a solution for low channel count VoIP customer premises equipment such as fibre to the home gateways, DSL integrated access devices and cable embedded multimedia terminal adaptors. "Silicon Labs continues to drive innovation in the mixed signal telephony IC market by increasing on chip integration, reducing power consumption, and shrinking BOM cost and component count with sophisticated dual slic designs," said Carlos Garcia, vice president and general manager of wireline products for Silicon Laboratories. "The Si3226x ProSLIC family is precisely what manufacturers need to develop the next generation of small footprint, feature rich and energy efficient VoIP gateway designs."
