In a push for better sound quality and more output volume, leading mobile phone makers have been raising the internal voltage used to drive micro speakers – from 3.3V through to 5V, and recently as high as 8V. NXP is launching its new TFA9890 speaker driver IC, which enables an unprecedented 9.5V boost voltage from an integrated DC-DC converter. Increasing the voltage headroom in the audio driver IC prevents amplifier clipping and keeps sound q...

In a push for better sound quality and more output volume, leading mobile phone makers have been raising the internal voltage used to drive micro speakers -- from 3.3V through to 5V, and recently as high as 8V. This week at Mobile World Congress 2013 (Hall 7, Stand A111), NXP Semiconductors is launching its new TFA9890 speaker driver IC, which enables an unprecedented 9.5V boost voltage from an integrated DC-DC converter.

At Mobile World Congress 2013, NXP will be showing its latest smart wireless charging demonstrator. The wireless charging demo uses NFC to trigger wake-up, thereby allowing the charging pad to remain completely switched off when it is not in use. This true-zero standby mode enables significant savings in energy consumption. Devices equipped with NFC can also take advantage of additional functions, such as communicating the credentials for Bluetoo...
