ABOUT PANASONIC SEMICONDUCTOR
Panasonic has a long history of developing world-class
consumer products. In the United States, Panasonic was
first to introduce an HDTV STB in 1998, and in 2003
Panasonic was first to introduce an integrated DTV with
both ATSC and OpenCable™ reception. There is no
question that Panasonic is a world leader in digital televi-
sion. Panasonic Semiconductor’s DTV LSIs, proven in
Panasonic consumer products, are also widely used by
major DTV manufacturers around the world. We provide
strong support to all manufacturers.
Panasonic consumer products are built from the ground
up with only the best components and integrated cir-
cuits. Panasonic Semiconductor makes many of these
components and integrated circuits to ensure the high-
est quality in our consumer products. Now you can use
the same integrated circuits that made Panasonic a
world leader in DTV.
Integrated circuits are just one piece of the DTV puzzle.
To be successful in DTV, knowledge of the DTV market-
place and the required standards is key. Also critical are
a thorough understanding of how the complete system
works and how to implement hardware and software to
present a compelling proposition to the customer. Pana-
sonic Semiconductor’s high-quality products and cus-
tomer support are the answer to the DTV puzzle.
