Kirchheim/Teck, Germany, 14 December 2011 - Dialog Semiconductor plc (FWB:
DLG), a provider of highly integrated innovative power management, audio

The EMEA award category was established in 2009 and has been won by Dialog

Now in its 16th year, the GSA Awards recognise semiconductor companies that
demonstrate strength in market leadership/competition, product lines,
innovation, corporate management and overall likelihood of long-term
success.

The GSA's president, Jodi Shelton, commented, 'Dialog is a true European
success story and has seen consistent growth over its peers throughout a
difficult economic period. It has forged successful partnerships with
multiple divisions of many major OEMs around the globe and continues to
deliver exceptional innovation. I'm once again delighted to present this
award to Dialog.'

Dr Jalal Bagherli, CEO of Dialog Semiconductor added, 'I want to
congratulate the team at Dialog, whose hard work has secured this most
prestigious of awards for the third year running, and I would like to thank
the GSA for this award and for fostering a more effective fabless European
semiconductor community. We are all very proud of this achievement and
honoured to be recognised by the GSA in this way.'
