Dialog Semiconductor Launches Evaluation Board to Speed up
Design Time for Marvell PXA3xx Applications
KIRCHHEIM/TECK, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 30, 2006--Dialog
Semiconductor Plc (NASDAQ: DLGS, FWB: DLG) has launched a new
evaluation board for its recently introduced DA9034 IC that enables
designers to quickly configure designs based on Marvell PXA3xx
application processors. The new DA9034-EVB provides a complete audio
and power management solution for Marvell PXA3xx-based products and is
driven using a standard Windows-based graphical user interface (GUI)
via a PC's USB interface allowing engineers to significantly shorten
development times.
With the DA9034-EVB, developers can evaluate the technical
performance of the DA9034 highly integrated audio and power management
IC. The DA9034-EVB can also be used in conjunction with a PXA3xx
processor system to develop power management and audio control
routines and verify complete designs. The board provides a reference
PCB layout and uses components typically found in cellular handset,
portable media player and PDA designs which are optimized for low
build height of less, than 1.2mm, and minimum PCB area.
Dialog Semiconductor's DA9034 IC integrates more than 50 mixed
signal functions on a single chip, providing regulated supplies for
the PXA32x processor, memory and peripheral devices as well as
supporting lithium ion battery charging, touch screen interface, LED
driving, together with voice and HiFi audio codecs. Dialog is the
first company, with the DA9034, to support Dynamic Voltage Management
for both switching and linear regulators. This technique along with
Dialog's ultra efficient Smart Mirror(TM) linear regulators and its
flexible implementation of the dedicated PXA3xx processor Power I2C
(PI2C) dramatically improves the battery life of end products. All
power supplies and control signals are accessible on terminal posts
and the DA9034-EVB can be used to power a complete PXA3xx platform
design during development.
Commenting on the release of the evaluation system Ajay Parmar,
Dialog Semiconductor's director of applications, stated, 'As many
advanced systems today require sophisticated power management, the
interaction between PMICs, processors and other peripherals are key to
achieving long battery life. Dialog's DA9034-EVB provides an effective
method of developing and testing power management software in a real
system environment. In portable and cellular applications, where space
is always at a premium, the DA9034/PXA3xx combination allows
manufacturers to develop products in the thinnest, smallest and
lightest formats.'
'Marvell is pleased that Dialog Semiconductor's dedicated support
for PXA3xx based platforms provides system designers with an excellent
low power integrated solution for the Marvell PXA3xx processors,
memory and peripheral power management. Dialog Semiconductor's IC
solutions also support Intel Dynamic Voltage Management for the
Marvell PXA3xx platforms, further benefiting designers looking for the
optimum balance in top performance processor capabilities and suburb
power conservation', said Sam Arditi, senior vice president of the
Cellular and Handheld Group at Marvell.
