Kirchheim/Teck, Germany 29 November 2010 - Dialog Semiconductor plc (FWB:
DLG), a provider of highly integrated innovative power management
semiconductor solutions, today announced that its DA7211 audio codec IC has
been adopted by Samsung Electronics to deliver the highest level of audio
performance in its recently launched YP-Q3AB MP3 player.
Important features in the selection of the DA7211 by Samsung were that the
device consumes the industry's absolute lowest quiescent headphone playback
power consumption of 2.5mW and only 5mW operating power under listening
conditions. The unique general purpose filter, architected to provide
functions such as programmable 5 band EQ and 3D sound on an 80uW budget,
provides an extremely low power flexible signal processing engine to work
in conjunction with various third party audio algorithms.
Samsung's Q3 player hosts a wide range of enhanced high quality Samsung
proprietary audio features including: SoundAlive(TM), enabling deeper bass
and greater tone articulation; Virtualizer, delivering a 5.1 channel
surround sound experience while using headphones; Room Modelling,
recreating space perception; Seven-band Equalizer, allowing fine-tuning the
sound levels; Audio Upscaler, restoring lost sounds from compression; and
Clarity, improving the reproduction of human voice and instruments. The
device also includes a Video player and FM radio.
Samsung commented; 'The Samsung Q3 combines exceptional sound quality with
an intuitive interface in a sleek design, allowing consumers to get a full
concert experience when playing music and videos. Working with Dialog
allowed us to significantly extend the battery life of the Q3, achieve a
signal to noise ratio (SNR) of greater than 96 dB and offer an
unprecedented mix of enhanced audio features to our consumers.'
Udo Kratz, vice president and general manager for audio and power
management at Dialog commented; 'We are extremely pleased to have further
strengthened our relationship with Samsung, a top tier consumer device
supplier, via the design-in of our audio codec in the company's latest line
of popular MP3 Players, which builds on our previous display product
success with the company.'
