Dialog Semiconductor's power management IC and audio codec adopted by
Renesas Electronics' SH7724 mobile device platform

The world's leading application processor vendor, Renesas Electronics
Corporation, selects Dialog DA9052 PMIC and DA7210 audio codec for its
reference platform for mobile devices capable of processing HD video images

Kirchheim/Teck, Germany, 31st August 2010 - Dialog Semiconductor plc (FWB:
DLG), a leading provider of highly integrated innovative power management
semiconductor solutions, has announced its DA9052 system level power
management (PMIC) and DA7210 Class G audio ICs have been incorporated in
the Renesas Electronics' SH7724 reference platform, which is now shipping
and generally available.

Renesas Electronics' SH7724 reference platform (part number
ROP7724LC0021RL) facilitates the design of a wide range of mobile devices,
such as IP security cameras, car navigation systems with terrestrial
digital broadcasting reception and portable media players. It combines
Renesas Electronics' SH7724 multimedia applications processor with Dialog's
ICs to significantly lower the power consumption and cut the build cost by
reducing the number of peripheral power supply and audio system components.
It also ensures these designs deliver high quality audio.

Typical products based on the Renesas Electronics' multimedia processor and
Dialog ICs include tablet PCs, ultra mobile devices, in-car navigation
systems, portable TV systems and IP security cameras.

'This is another success for our Processor Partner Programme and we are
proud to have been selected by Renesas Electronics for inclusion in its
SH7724 reference platform. Recording and replaying high definition video is
both power intensive and demanding. Combining Dialog's flexible system
level power management and low power audio ICs with Renesas Electronics'
exceptionally efficient applications processor minimises both peak power
and dissipation and sets a new standard in HD video efficiency,' said Udo
Kratz, VP and general manager of the audio and power management business
unit at Dialog Semiconductor.

Battery life, and therefore power management, is essential in delivering
today's portable battery powered products. The Renesas Electronics' SH7724
reference design combines a small footprint with powerful performance to
give designers an accelerated route to market, and a significant head start
in developing next generation HD connected devices. The DA9052 system level
power management IC uses a revolutionary graphical user interface to
precisely and simply optimise the power sequencing requirements of a
system. It gives greater flexibility in reducing power consumption, size
and cost in portable multimedia devices.

The DA7210 is a high performance Class G audio codec, has an industry
leading consumption level of 2.5mW and incorporates the industry's first
onboard general purpose filter to enable fine-tuning and optimisation of
the audio response for small speakers and enclosures.
