DIALOG SEMICONDUCTOR ADDS ARM MULTICORE SUPPORT IN NEXT GENERATION OF
SYSTEM LEVEL POWER MANAGEMENT ICS
Configurable DA9053-multicore and DA9021 PMICs optimise battery life in new
classes of portable devices including tablet PCs and e-readers
Kirchheim/Teck, Germany, 14 June 2011 - Dialog Semiconductor plc (FWB:
DLG), a provider of highly integrated innovative power management, audio
and short range wireless technologies, has launched two third generation
advanced system level power management ICs (PMICs) for tablet PCs,
smartphones, embedded computers and multimedia players. Delivering
class-leading energy efficiency and power-up flexibility the new DA9053 and
DA9021 devices support major mobile graphics and application processor
families.
The DA9053 becomes Dialog's flagship system level PMIC for high-end
multicore-based applications and supports the ARM Cortex(TM) family whilst
the DA9021 addresses lower power cost-sensitive applications.
'Dialog's latest generation PMICs extend the company's leadership in
configurable system power management via multicore support,' said Udo Kratz
vice president and general manager of Dialog's audio and power management
business unit. 'Through our Processor Partner Programme we have already
gained multiple design wins across a broad range of applications and expect
the first DA9053 based consumer devices to be on store shelves around Q3 of
this year.'
The DA9053 is an advanced high performance PMIC that provides
multi-processor core power and delivers unprecedented power-up flexibility
with exceptional energy efficiency. It combines a powerful 1.8A rated
dual-input DC/USB power path router with a switching battery charger and
includes support for multiple external memory configurations. The DA9053 is
ideally suited for powering the latest generation of demanding portable
media and wireless computing applications, such as tablet PCs.
The DA9021 delivers the same highly configurable engine to optimise
power-up sequencing and has been retargeted to be suitable for lower power
single processor core portable consumer markets, such as e-readers and DAB
receivers, to help drive down the design costs. It includes a 1.3A single
input USB charger and its internal regulators deliver approximately half
the total current relative to DA9053.
'In 2009 we launched the DA9052, the world's first easily configurable
system PMIC; since then there has been a rapid growth in the portable
device market, especially for tablet PCs and e-readers. Dialog's third
generation of PMICs have been designed with these systems specifically in
mind, continuing such innovation. The DA9053 and DA9021 devices, with their
advanced feature sets and performance, will enable manufacturers to easily
get new, perfectly power-optimised consumer devices to market,' concluded
Kratz.
The DA9053 is supplied in a 169 ball VFBGA 7 x 7mm package with 0.5mm pitch
or VFBGA 11x11mm package with 0.8mm pitch and is available in both consumer
and automotive grades. The DA9021 is supplied in a 64 ball 4 x 4mm
wafer-level package with 0.5mm pitch. Samples of both the DA9053 and the
DA9021 are available immediately.
Companies supported by Dialog's Processor Partner Programme include
Freescale, Marvell, Renesas (NEC) and Samsung. For example, the DA9053 PMIC
features on Freescale's i.Mx53 multimedia reference platform and will be
demonstrated at the Freescale Technology Forum in San Antonio, 20 -23 June.
