This design-in extends the successful cooperation between Gigaset Communications and SiTel. The new handsets offer numerous features, including a color TFT display, a Bluetooth headset connection, and PC syncing via Bluetooth or USB.

Based on SiTel’s proven multicore architecture, the SC14450 features a 16-bit CompactRISC processor plus two user-programmable Gen2DSPs. It delivers 240 MIPS of processing power, which is enough to run applications including MP3, full-duplex wideband audio for hands-free use, TCP/IP, high-end graphics displays, and more. This DSP performance makes the SC14450 well-suited for high-end DECT/CAT-iq handsets.

In addition, the SC14450 supports a variety of external memories. It also 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.

CAT-iq is a new global technology for broadband home connectivity. Based on the regulative rules of the mature and reliable DECT standard, it supports consumer products for wireless home communication, information, and entertainment.
