Mobile World Congress, Barcelona, Spain, 12th February 2008 – Dialog
Semiconductor PLC (FWB:DLG) has announced that AsusTek, a leading provider
of 3C total solutions, will adopt Dialog’s latest generation ASSP
(application specific standard product) system power, user interface, audio
and RF devices in their next wave of smartphone products. The expanded
relationship between the European-based mixed signal chip provider and the
major IT industry player is the result of increasing co-operation between
the two companies during the past two years.

The ASSP audio and power management IC will provide Asus smartphone users
with faster wireless connectivity, richer multimedia capability and a more
compelling user experience. 'We deploy Dialog Semiconductor’s technology
for our smartphone platform to enable captivating real-world sights and
sounds without compromising power efficiency and performance,' commented
Dr. Alex Sun, vice president, mobile communications business unit, AsusTek
Computer Inc.

Optimized system power management has become increasingly critical for the
next generation wireless handheld products which are becoming smaller,
lighter and thinner. Enhanced smart power management across all operating
modes allows deployment of smaller battery packs and reduced board-level
power dissipation. This in turn allows higher integration and component
density enabling the timely launch of more reliable products in exciting
new form factors.

Dialog Semiconductor CEO Dr. Jalal Bagherli added, 'Our commitment to
quality gained through twenty years in the automotive industry has been
successfully translated to the consumer and wireless markets. We are
pleased to be supporting AsusTek who so clearly demonstrate innovation and
quality in their end products. We look forward to further collaboration and
success.'
