Dialog Semiconductor Manages Audio and Power in First Intel-Processor-Based Handset
Dialog Semiconductor has announced that a combined audio and power management IC launched by the company last year is featured in a new mobile phone handset from mobile network operator O2, claimed to be the first on the market based on an Intel cellular processor. The handset uses Dialog's DA9011 GSM/GPRS audio and power controller to provide all the necessary power management and high performance audio functions for the advanced multimedia phone.
Kirchheim-Teck, Germany (PRWEB) July 6, 2005 –- Dialog Semiconductor Plc
(NASDAQ: DLGS, FWB: DLG) has announced that a combined audio and power
management IC launched by the company last year is featured in a new mobile
phone handset claimed to be the first on the market based on an Intel cellular
processor. The handset, launched to consumers by mobile network operator O2,
uses Dialog's DA9011 GSM/GPRS audio and power controller to provide all the
necessary power management and high performance audio functions for the advanced
multimedia phone.
Roland Pudelko, CEO and president of Dialog
Semiconductor, said, “The new phone features the ability to download music
direct to a music player, run several different applications at the same time,
provide video and audio playback, and provide up to 200 hours standby and four
hours talk time. This is exactly the kind of consumer device that our technology
addresses. The DA9011 is helping to manage this significant demand on the
battery using our specialist mixed signal design expertise, and it utilizes our
advanced knowledge of integrating in the same device high performance audio DACs
for CD-quality music and audio playback.”
The DA9011 was developed in
collaboration with Intel Corporation to support the Intel&Reg; PXA800F
cellular processor. Connecting directly to the battery, the DA9011 provides
stable, low noise power supplies for all core circuits within the phone handset,
with additional regulators for enhanced application capabilities such as
Bluetooth™ modules, camera modules, and memory cards. It incorporates Dialog
Semiconductor's unique Smart Mirror™ technology, a technique which uses advanced
compensation and biasing techniques compared to conventional regulators to help
minimize quiescent current consumption and optimize power supply rejection
(PSRR) performance.
