Dialog Semiconductor's 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 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.
The platform combines Renesas Electronics' SH7724 multimedia applications processor with Dialog's ICs to lower the power consumption and cut the build cost by reducing the number of peripheral power supply and audio system components. The platform 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.
The Renesas Electronics' SH7724 reference design combines a small footprint with powerful performance to give designers an accelerated route to market, and a head start in developing next generation HD connected devices. The DA9052 system level power management IC uses a 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 2.5 mW 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.
