Business Wire, June 19, 1996

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 19, 1996--TelCom Semiconductor, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLCM) today announced the introduction of a new evaluation kit, the TC500EV.

The TC500EV A/D Converter Evaluation Kit is one of a series of kits that will be developed by TelCom to assist in product evaluation and system design. TelCom will soon be releasing another kit, the TC530EV, which will allow users to evaluate the TC530 and TC534 products.

The TC500EV A/D Converter Evaluation Kit allows one to evaluate TelCom's TC5xx family of dual slope integrating converters, including the TC500, TC500A, TC510 and TC514. The TC500EV consists of the TC500 and TC514 A/D converters, a pre-programmed microcontroller, TC520A serial interface adapter, a regulated power supply and user prototyping area. The TC510 and TC514 are the latest additions to TelCom's TC5xx family of A/D converters, recently released for production.

The Evaluation Kit contains one completely assembled 4-inch by 6-inch board. Convenient jumper options allow operation as either a single channel (TC500 and TC510) or 4 channel (TC514) A/D converter to a maximum of 17 bits (plus sign). Conversion data can be accessed via the RS232 port, the on-board serial interface adapter (TC520A), or by user-provided external logic. Conversion speed and resolution are programmable. Jumpers allow the user to select factory-installed values for the integrating resistor and capacitor, or to install his/her own values to better suit a specific application.

A software utility in the form of an Excel spreadsheet is included that calculates all component values given the desired system parameters. No design effort required! The TC500EV sells for $50 in single piece quantities.

TelCom Semiconductor is a high performance analog company that develops, manufactures and markets integrated circuits for a broad spectrum of customers with commercial, high-volume, product applications. TelCom's product direction is focused on proprietary and commodity Mixed-Signal, Power Management, and Smart Sensor devices.
