Just a few years ago smart homes seemed like a far-off, science-fiction idea. Smart lights, smart locks, smart garage doors, smart refrigerators, smart thermostats, smart ovens, smart TVs, smart speakers, smart fireplaces - all wirelessly connected and controlled from a single device, or even just by the sound of your voice.

Provider of custom and configurable power management, AC/DC power conversion, charging and Bluetooth low energy technology, Dialog Semiconductor, has unveiled the SmartBond DA1469x family of Bluetooth low energy SoCs, its most advanced, feature-rich range of multi-core microcontroller units (MCUs) for wireless connectivity. 

Dialog Semiconductor has announced that its audio and Configurable Mixed Signal ICs (CMICs) have been adopted by Huawei for their HONOR FlyPods, the company’s latest True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earbuds. A Dialog’s SmartBeat DA14195 System-on-Chip (SoC) is integrated into each FlyPod earbud and is connected to a pair of Voice Pick Up (VPU) sensors.

Advanced features including an integrated ARM Cortex-M33-based application processor are at the heart of the SmartBondDA1469x family of Bluetooth low energy SoCs from Dialog Semiconductor which were launched at embedded world 2019 in Nuremberg (February 26-28).

From hospitals, cars and offices to fitness trackers, smart homes and connected factories, there’s really no limit to the number of industries or applications that the Internet of Things can reach. Anything, anywhere, has the potential to be connected to the IoT through smart devices like wearables. Anywhere…even off the planet.

At the electronica trade show, Dialog Semiconductor unveiled its first fully-integrated nanopower PMICs for IoT applications, the DA9070 and DA9073. The new, more powerful PMICs build on the success of Dialog’s first nanopower offerings, further highlighting how Dialog has pushed the boundaries of its PMIC technology to improve low power IoT applications.

Provider of custom and configurable power management, AC/DC power conversion, charging and Bluetooth low energy technology, Dialog Semiconductor has announced that it partnered with UNISOC, formerly Spreadtrum Communications, to develop the SC2703, an optimized high-performance Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC) that is powering the latest addition to the new Micromax Canvas LTE smartphone series.

Over to you Bluetooth SIG. That’s the message from Dialog Semiconductor as it demonstrated Stereo High Fidelity (HiFi) quality audio streaming over Bluetooth low energy at this year’s Bluetooth World event in Santa Clara, California. The technology, which enables true wireless stereo audio streaming over Bluetooth low energy, was showcased in a proof of concept implementation to Bluetooth SIG Associate members at the event.

electronica will provide the platform for Dialog Semiconductor to demonstrate the DA7280, a low power Haptic Driver Integrated Circuit (IC). The device is capable of driving both ERM (Eccentric Rotating Mass) and LRA (Linear Resonant Actuators) motors, offering High Definition (HD) Wideband Drive, 76% lower idle power consumption and a 50% reduction in external BOM (Bill of Materials) count compared to existing solutions on the market.

  To support sensor connectivity in the IoT, Dialog Semiconductor has unveiled its new 15 Degrees-of-Freedom (DOF) SmartBond Multi-Sensor Kit. Built on Dialog’s DA14585 SmartBond System-on-Chip (SoC), the kit allows engineers to easily connect sensors to the cloud at the lowest power and smallest footprint.

  A significant milestone has been announced by Dialog Semiconductor. The company has shipped over 3.5 billion Configurable Mixed-signal ICs (CMICs) to date. The milestone validates Dialog’s configurable technology, including the highly successful GreenPAK product family, as the choice for the market.  

Dialog Semiconductor plc has announced it is shipping in high volume its USB PD chipset to Hosiden Corporation, a Japanese manufacturer of charger adapters for mobile devices. The chipset is used in Hosiden’s CBC2153 model USB PD-compliant adapter, designed for one of Japan’s leading mobile TELCO providers. With Dialog’s market share of more than 60% in AC/DC rapid charging integrated circuits for smartphone adapters.
