Kirchheim/Teck, 11th January 2010 - Dialog Semiconductor plc (FWB: DLG), a
leading provider of highly integrated innovative power management
semiconductor solutions, has announced its DA9035 IC for power management
and audio has been designed into the GW880 Smartphone from LG.
This design-in is the latest in a series of LG 3G mobile platforms to
benefit from Dialog ICs over the past 12 months.
The 3G Smartphone is currently available on the China Mobile network and

Information and Explaination of the Issuer to this News:
'LG is amongst the world's most respected technology brands and the
relationship with LG is an important one for Dialog. We're delighted to
strengthen this relationship as LG continue to move forward in the Android
Smartphone sector,' said Dr Jalal Bagherli, CEO of Dialog Semiconductor.
Dr. Bagherli continued, 'the Android OS enables great usability and access
to a vast range of applications. However, this means users are running
power intensive software for greater periods, yet demand that battery life
is unaffected. Dialog is proud to be a key enabling factor in meeting this
requirement.'
The DA9035 PMIC & Hi-Fi audio / voice codec incorporates a 24-bit audio
processor, touch screen controller, LED / vibrator driver and system-level
power management functionality for 3G cellular platforms. Connecting
directly to the battery the DA9035 provides stable, low noise supplies for
all core circuits within the phone, with additional regulators for enhanced
application capabilities such as Bluetooth modules, camera modules, and SD
memory cards.
