Dialog's IC selected by LG for Android smartphone

The 3G Smartphone is currently available on the China Mobile network and features a 3.5in WVGA touch screen, GPS, Bluetooth, TD-SCDMA / TD-HSPA connectivity, a 5MP camera and mobile tv supporting China Multimedia Broadcasting. The DA9035 PMIC and hifi audio / voice codec incorporates a 24bit audio processor, touch screen controller, LED / vibrator driver and system level power management functionality for 3G cellular platforms. It connects directly to the battery and, according to Dialog, has been designed to provide stable, low noise supplies for all core circuits within the phone, with additional regulators for enhanced application capabilities such as Bluetooth modules, camera modules, and SD memory cards. Dr Jalal Bagherli, Dialog' ceo, said: "LG is amongst the world's most respected technology brands and the relationship with LG is an important one for Dialog. We're delighted to strengthen this relationship as LG continue to move forward in the Android Smartphone sector. The Android OS enables great usability and access to a vast range of applications. However, this means users are running power intensive software for greater periods, yet demand that battery life is unaffected. Dialog is proud to be a key enabling factor in meeting this requirement."
