Celestial Semiconductor Licenses LSI Logic ZSP Solutions for Multimedia Applications
MILPITAS, Calif. -- Sept. 29, 2005 -- LSI Logic Corporation (NYSE: LSI) today announced that it is expanding its reach into digital multimedia markets by licensing the ZSP400 digital signal processor (DSP) core and ZSP(R) Audio Platform to Celestial Semiconductor. The LSI Logic ZSP solutions enable Celestial to quickly and cost-effectively develop products that support emerging audio/video standards. Celestial's selection reinforces the ZSP architecture as the DSP of choice in China.
"The ZSP400 core's performance, code density and ease-of-programming make it the ideal DSP solution for our products that support emerging standards such as the Audio Video Coding Standard Working Group of China (AVS)," said Raymond Leung, Executive Vice President of Celestial Semiconductor. "In addition to the core, LSI Logic provides a comprehensive software suite with its ZSP audio platform that will enable us to reduce time-to-market to meet strong customer demand for our products."
The ZSP400 is a high-performance, flexible and cost-effective DSP core that can be easily integrated and programmed into system-on-a-chip designs. The ZSP400 DSP core enables optimal trade-off of power and performance in demanding consumer applications. Available with Advanced Peripheral Bus master/slave interfaces and a range of supporting peripherals for audio and voice applications, LSI Logic's ZSP400 is tailored to enable highly featured products get to market quickly.
"Consumer electronic designers continue to seek solutions that support audio and video algorithms to address the ever-evolving multimedia market," said Ed Pazmino, multimedia marketing director of the LSI Logic DSP Products Division. "LSI Logic was able to provide Celestial Semiconductor with the resources and technology to rapidly deliver solutions for next-generation multimedia applications."
