We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "OTP",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release SoC speeds the switch from IR to RF remotes from
Zensys, which we summarised at the time by saying "Complexity, cost and interoperability have been the main inhibitors for the move from IR to RF in AV control that can now be overcome with Z-WaveAV".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release SoC supports both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray codes from
Horizon Semiconductors: "Single IC enables dual-channel native 1080/60p decoding, encoding and transcoding for next generation media players/recorders supporting both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray optical disc formats".
In October 2007, we covered the news from Cirrus Logic
concerning its CS2XXX clocking ICs
- take a look at Clocking ICs reduce component numbers
which says: "The CS2000 offers both a clock generator feature and clock cleanup in a single IC, reducing the number of components and board space required in audio systems".
Take a look also at the news release from STMicroelectronics, Microcontrollers suit SIM cards,
as well as Power efficient processors target handheld media from Analog Devices,
and Small form factor MCU integrates more circuitry from Silicon Laboratories.
