DIALOG enhances Freescale's TOWER SYSTEM development platform with the latest advanced audio codec module

Dialog's newly developed DA7321 DSP-based audio codec (including SRS SoundTM) is used in Freescale Tower System's new peripheral modules to improve audio quality

Beijing, China, June 4, 2013 – Dialog Semiconductor Co., Ltd. (Frankfurt stock code: DLG), an integrated power management, audio and short-range wireless technology provider, announced today that the company will develop a platform for Freescale's Tower System Provide a brand new audio codec reference module based on its DA7321. DA7321 is part of the industry ecosystem of Freescale microcontrollers (MCU) and microprocessors (MPU) product series, targeting a wide range of audio applications, including small speakers, headphones, docking stations, and gaming systems.

Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) can now use the latest Dialog low-power audio codec to greatly enhance the user's audio experience. Dialog's DA7321 codec provides louder and clearer audio. It uses a multi-channel architecture to digitally mix and transmit multiple audio streams. An on-chip digital signal processor reduces the burden of audio software in the host processor, allowing OEMs to obtain consistent and high-quality audio. In addition, it eliminates the hassle of re-encoding data in multi-channel applications. By using DSP to process audio signals, those OEMs developing in Freescale Tower System will get the following benefits:

· Increase the volume of the perceived audio signal without distorting the sound of headphones or speakers;

· Psychoacoustic bass enhancement, which improves the perceived low frequencies;

· SRS SoundTM patented technology can improve audio image quality, bass perception and the strength of the audio system.

Freescale Tower System is a modular, scalable and open source development platform for 8, 16 and 32-bit MCUs and MPUs. Interchangeable, reusable modules and open source design files allow OEMs to easily customize a product, reduce low-level design, and give them more time to focus on developing differentiated solutions.

Udo Kratz, senior vice president and general manager of the mobile systems business unit of Dialog Semiconductor Co., Ltd., said: "Freescale is the world's leading provider of processing solutions. It has a broad range of microprocessors and microcontrollers and provides its customers with A unique industry ecosystem approach. Dialog is pleased to continue to expand our relationship with Freescale and our partnership with our newly developed dual I2S multi-channel audio codec. This codec can provide development for the majority of OEMs The design flexibility required for a new generation of audio peripherals. "

Rudan Bettelheim, Freescale ’s audio and accessories business development manager, said: “With the support of Freescale ’s Tower System, Dialog is an optimized audio solution that allows OEMs to quickly build and evaluate a variety of innovative audio accessories and maximize Products cross the hardware reuse rate of their product platforms. "

The DA7321 is supplied in a 64-pin BGA package with a pitch of 0.5 mm and an operating temperature range of -40 ° C to + 85 ° C. It is adopted by the new TWR-DLG-DA7321 peripheral module of the Freescale Tower System development platform. DA7321 is available now, customers can order directly from Freescale (www.Freescale.com/Tower).

Dialog will demonstrate the TWR-DLG-DA7321 audio module as part of the Freescale Tower System on the Freescale booth at Taipei International Computer Show (Hall 1, Hall 1, Booth A0703a) from June 4-8.
