Dialog Semiconductor (News - Alert) plc recently announced that VTech has chosen its ultra low power Green VoIP chip family. Dialog Semiconductor is a provider of power management, audio and short range wireless technologies

According to the agreement, VTech will use Dialog's SC14452 and SC14461 VoIP processors and Rhea software suite to create a series of VoIP cordless and corded phones. The first set in this series has been designed with the hotel segment in mind and the company began producing this S-series of single and dual-line phone systems in the fourth quarter of 2011. With this design, there has been an extension of Dialog's relationship with VTech, which has been using their DECT (News - Alert) IC technology in its digital cordless phones for some time.

In a release, C.H. Tong, President of VTech Telecommunications Ltd, said, “Communications are increasingly done over IP, and our goal is to exceed user expectations with our VoIP telephony products, providing clear and reliable communications solutions. Our S-series phones have been designed first and foremost with audio clarity and ease of use at their heart and Dialog's VoIP chips and software is the key to achieving this.”

VTech's S-series VoIP phones have multi-call and multi-handset capabilities, speakerphone functionality, IEEE802.3af power over Ethernet, as well as a USB charging facility. The VTech SIP cordless desktop phones bring together DECT, CAT-iq and DECT 6.0 with an adjustable coverage area to provide better clarity and installation management.

Jalal Bagherli, CEO of Dialog, said, “VTech is among the world's leading brand names, especially in the phone market, and is already a customer for our DECT digital cordless phone ICs. Our close working cooperation has helped us extend our relationship with this second product line and integrate our Green VoIP processors into VTech's latest designs.”

The Dialog SC14452 comes with built-in DECT support and the flexibility of handling the varied requirements of consumers and manufacturers. It comes with a 16-bit CompactRISC processor as well as a dual user-programmable Gen2DSPs to provide 240-MIPS of computational power.
