National Semiconductor's latest baseband controller (SC14408) has been selected by Siemens for its Gigaset 4000 comfort handset.

National's SC14408 is the market's first single chip DCT baseband IC with embedded Flash designed in 0.25 micron CMOS.

The SC14408 combines 3Mb of embedded flash with a powerful CompactRISC core, allowing Siemens' new handsets to have the highest degree of software flexibility available. Siemens has introduced its handset into the two most rapidly growing DCT markets in the world: DECT 1.9 GHz in Europe and WDCT in the ISM 2.4GHz band in the US.
