SiTel DECT solutions power new Jabra headsets.
High performance and low power consumption of SiTel’s SC14450, LMX4180 and SC14480 enable extensive feature list and excellent sound quality for Jabra PRO 9400 Series headsets.
SiTel Semiconductor has announced that three of its advanced DECT ICs feature in the new Jabra PRO 9400 Series headsets from GN Netcom.
The new headsets feature SiTel’s SC14450 high-end baseband processor, LMX4180 DECT transceiver and SC14480 single-chip CAT-iq IC. These chips deliver high performance and low power consumption. As a result, the headsets boast a host of new features, excellent energy efficiency and outstanding voice quality including support for wideband audio.
The Jabra PRO 9400 Series combine unprecedented sound quality, range and performance with triple connectivity. And as the first family of DECT headset solutions to feature a touch screen base handling calls from a desk phone, soft phone and mobile phone has never been more intuitive.
The headsets deliver optimal audio performance thanks to SiTel’s Perfect Acoustic Echo Canceller (PAEC) and high-quality analog codec for wideband audio. In addition, they feature background noise cancellation for crystal-clear conversations and a volume limiter to protect users’ hearing.
To help businesses reduce energy bills and carbon footprints, the new headsets makes full use of the SiTel solutions’ extensive power management features. While encrypted communication between the headset and the base ensure all conversations remain confidential.
“We are committed to maintaining Jabra’s brand position as the number one choice for unified communication solutions. The extensive features, high processing capabilities and low power consumption of the SiTel solutions plus the in-depth support SiTel provided allowed us to create a new range of products with a unique price / performance ratio to extend that brand position,” says Stefan Heise, Global Product Manager, CC&O, GN Netcom.
As the world’s first monolithic integrated DECT/DCT solution in standard CMOS, the SC14480 is the first device in SiTel’s single-chip product family. It comes with Flash memory, making it ideal for product development, production ramp-up or in applications requiring regular software upgrades.
The high-performance Gen2DSP core provides enough processing power to support the superior voice quality of the CAT-iq standard and other features. The SC14480 can operate directly from Li-Ion cells, reducing external component costs and making the chip ideal for headset applications.
The SC14450 processor uses SiTel’s proven multi-core architecture to deliver 240 MIPS of processing power. It features a 16bit CompactRISC processor, plus two user-programmable Gen2DSPs. It can run the various audio codecs and best-in-class acoustic echo cancellation and other embedded applications.
In addition, the SC14450 supports a variety of external memories, and features an integrated class D amplifier, power and battery management options, a white LED driver and a wide variety of peripheral interfaces including master / slave PCM, UART, SPI, dual-access bus and USB client.
The LMX4180 CMOS RF transceiver comes in a small VQFN32 package. It supports both standard DECT (1880-1900 MHz) and DECT 6.0 (1920-1930 MHz) frequencies, and is fully compatible with SiTel’s advanced basebands providing customers with a complete solution for DECT and DECT 6.0. The LMX4180 is available in mass production quantities, and engineering samples can be delivered from stock.
