Dialog Semi Delivers PMIC for Tablets Based on the Next-Generation Intel Atom Processors

Dialog Semiconductor plc announced that Intel Corporation and Dialog have expanded their collaboration for the development of a single-chip power management IC (PMIC). Together with the next generation Intel® Atom™ processor, codename “Bay Trail”, this PMIC delivers outstanding battery life for tablet designs, a critical factor in consumer product choice. Dialog’s DA6021 PMIC was optimized to be a system power management device on Intel’s reference design vehicle: an “open bench top” customer reference board/kit for test, measurement and software development as well as an enclosed form-factor reference design that requires minimal additional hardware to complete the rapid development of tablet computers.

Dr Jalal Bagherli, CEO of Dialog, commented, “The tablet market represents an exciting growth opportunity and we’re delighted to be working with Intel in delivering a vital component for the energy-friendly next generation Intel Atom platform. The performance and energy-efficiency gains that we expect Intel’s next generation processor will bring to tablets are complemented perfectly by the system-level power management capabilities of our PMIC, which has been designed to operate with both the processor and its peripherals.

Energy Efficiency with Class D Amplifier Modules

Class-D switching amplifiers are helping audio designers create personal multimedia devices and home audio/visual systems that demonstrate how compact and stylish equipment can also deliver high sound quality and high audio output power. The key to this breakthrough, providing freedom from the large and bulky boxes housing traditional audio products, lies in the class-D amplifier’s high energy efficiency, which is typically around 90%. This allows designers to reduce or eliminate heatsinks as well as using smaller-sized PCBs and smaller components such as transformers, connectors and power supplies.

The Role of Hall Effect Sensors in Power Distribution Infrastructure

Power distribution units (PDUs) form an essential part of modern computing and data communications hardware. They provide multiple outputs for transferring electrical power with maximum efficiency, controlling the power capacity and safeguarding against the possible causes of supply interruption. With an ever increasing need from tech savvy consumers for higher data throughput and greater quantities of data storage capacity, as well as tough international legislation now governing CO&sub2; emissions, the demands being placed on these units are proving challenging for engineering teams to satisfy.
