SigmaTel, Inc. (NASDAQ:SGTL), a leader in mixed-signal multimedia
semiconductors, announced its SGTV5800 TV Audio solution has been
adopted by Samsung Electronics.
“We are thankful for our design win at
Samsung; collaborating with the largest television manufacturer is a
great opportunity for SigmaTel’s TV Audio
product line,” said Phil Pompa, interim chief
executive officer of SigmaTel.
The highly integrated SGTV5800 family simplifies TV audio design while
offering high-end value added features. By offering a single chip
solution that replaces multiple external components including digital
I/O, analog I/O, sync delay, headphone drivers and a worldwide
demodulator supporting EIAJ, BTSC, NICAM and A2, the SGTV5800 simplifies
TV audio design and provides customers with a highly flexible solution
at a reduced cost. These processors can be used in analog, digital, and
hybrid TVs.
"The worldwide TV market is expected to grow to over 157 million units
in 2010 from 73 million units in 2006," said Henry Choy, Vice President
of Display Electronics of DisplaySearch (an NPD Group Company). "Better
audio is becoming more important for these digital TVs."
Samsung televisions enabled with SigmaTel TV audio technology should
start shipping during the first quarter of 2007.
