TDK SEMICONDUCTOR: A NEW FOCUS, A NEW STRATEGY

TDK is set to launch a veritable fireworks of system-on-chip solutions onto the market. The first of many: Smart Card Terminal Controllers.

TDK Semiconductor is a world leader in mixed-signal ICs for applications such as digital cable and satellite set-top boxes, LAN, MAN and WAN solutions, point-of-sale terminals, measuring devices and smart card readers. TDK's extensive experience with system-level modems and networks is reflected in the functionality of its products.


Over the next 24 months, TDK will be launching additional system-on-chip fireworks, with new solutions based on the company's proven core competences. The new smart card terminal controller already offers a first taste of things to come. In addition to the smart card interface, the chip has an integrated microcontroller, display and keyboard driver and a variety of different communications interfaces.

So keep an eye to the sky, because the fireworks are coming soon! You'll be glad you did.
