Kirchheim/Teck, Germany, May 17, 2004 – Dialog Semiconductor Plc (NASDAQ: DLGS, FWB: DLG) has updated its integrated power management and audio solution for the Intel® PXA800F cellular processor. The new DA9011 GSM/GPRS audio and power controller now supports both software and hardware MIDI solutions, an essential feature required for versatile ringtone and gaming functions in mobile phone handset designs. The IC is based on and supersedes the DA9010, launched in February 2003.

The DA9011 features the same high level of integration as the previous generation of this IC. In addition to the new software and hardware MIDI support, the DA9011 incorporates Dialog Semiconductor’s unique Smart Mirror™ technology, and provides, on a single chip, 12 high-performance low dropout (LDO) regulators, high efficiency DC-DC buck converters, LED and vibrator drivers, 24-bit stereo DAC and 16 Ohm headphone drivers. Smart Mirror uses advanced compensation and biasing techniques compared to conventional regulators, to help minimize quiescent current consumption and optimize power supply rejection (PSRR) performance.

The DA9011 is available now as a standard part, in a 121 pin, 8 x 8 mm BGA package. A technical product brief is available on Dialog Semiconductor’s web site (www.Dialog-Semiconductor.com).
