LSI LOGIC VOIP SEMICONDUCTOR PROFILE
LSI Logic Corporation (NYSE: LSI) focuses on the VoIP market through
its DSP division, also known as its ZSP division. That division offers Voice Processor chips for both wired and WiVoIP applications.
In October of 2004, LSI Logic along with Micrel Inc., another semiconductor company and Arcturus Networks completed the development
of VoIP reference design for the development of wireless VoIP router products. LSI Logic’s chips have also been included
in SyChip’s chip-scale module VoIP solutions.
LSI Logic also has licensed its ZSP DSP cores for applications in
the VoIP chip market. In September of 2005, LSI Logic licensed its DSP Core to VeriSilicon.
More importantly though is LSI Logic’s ZSP core licensing
agreement with Broadcom, which was entered into in August of 2004. Broadcom has adopted the core for a number of its VoIP
products. These include the BCM3341 Broadband VoIP chip, the BCM3351 and BCM3352 Cable Modem VoIP Gateway chips and BCM6352
Voice over DSL chip.
