- Trade News | 0107

SEOUL, Korea - April 4, 2001- Micronas announced they were presented Samsung's prestigious Award of Contribution at the annual Samsung Visual Media Division meeting. The Award of Contribution is presented in recognition of on-time and reliable delivery of audio and video ICs for Samsung Television Sets. Samsung presents the award annually to their best supplier and cooperative partner.

"Micronas has been a long time supplier and important contributor to Samsung's TV development," said ChangDuck Chang, Vice President of Samsung Electronics Visual Media Division. "This award honors their strong commitment to the development of innovative leading edge audio and video ICs and providing excellent customer support and engineering services."

"Micronas offers highly integrated audio and video chips that are compatible to all TV standards worldwide," said Hans-Jürgen Désor, Vice President Consumer Products at Micronas. "This allows TV manufacturers to replace all audio and video ICs for different parts of the world with a one-supports-all chip, which makes inventory management more efficient and cost effective."

Digital signal processing (DSP) is Micronas' core competency. The DSP-based ICs for consumer applications such as TV and audio systems are highly integrated mixed-signal CMOS chips based on a platform concept, which allows low cost production of application-specific derivates (types) with only minimal changes to the production process. Micronas' ability to quickly switch the manufacturing process to different types of audio and video ICs decreases time-to-market for TV manufacturers. Both these issues, low cost and fast time-to-market, are essential in today's consumer electronics market.
