Matsushita joins the TTPCom fan club
Matsushita Electric Industrial is the latest licensee for TTPCom's dual system 3G/GSM technology for radio chipsets
TTPCom's technology delivers a system level and architectural design and IC specifications from which semiconductor manufacturers can quickly build low power RFICs for next generation mobile terminals. Takaharu Saeki, General Manager of ALSI Division, Matsushita Electric Industrial (MEI), said: "TTPCom is one of the world's successful developers of RF and baseband solutions for GSM/GPRS and 3G cellular systems, and it was these skills we sought to leverage to create a true open market RF offering as the 3G era arrives.

DigRF interface suits RF and baseband for 3G
TTPCom's 3G DigRF solution is designed to enable semiconductor device vendors to quickly and easily add a 3G DigRF compliant digital interface to both 3G RF and baseband ICs
We believe our collaboration has established a unique approach to developing RFICs that existing and new handset partners can drop into forthcoming designs with minimal design effort".
"TTPCom's IP based approach to RFIC requires extensive RF design expertise, as well as familiarity with GSM and 3G standards", said Gerry Stanton, RFIC team leader, TTPCom.
"Some of the team members have been working on IC design for over 10 years, and it is this RF design expertise and familiarity with the GSM and UMTS 3G specifications that has enabled TTPCom to successfully develop process independent RFIC IP.
Our solution allows IC manufacturers to maximise the efficiency and utilisation of their limited, highly experienced in-house RF engineering resources".
TTPCom dual system 3G/GSM RFIC technology will enable terminals such as handsets that are capable of operating with 2G/2.5G and 3G networks, allowing subscribers seamless access to different networks as the world's cellular operators roll out new 3G services.
TTPCom's Gerry Stanton continued, "We are pleased to have achieved what we believe is a breakthrough in terms of portable RFIC designs for the communications market, and we are preparing to complete a circuit level IP offering as a process portable solution available to a wide range of IC vendors on a licence basis".
Matsushita is the second of the two semiconductor partners in Japan with which TTPCom has previously announced it is developing next generation technology.
In total, TTPCom now works with six silicon partners, five of whom are in the world's top ten.
