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.
