KIRCHHEIM & TECK, GERMANY: Dialog Semiconductor Plc announced it has collaborated with Harman Becker, the Harman International Automotive Division, in the development of the DA6001 power management IC as a companion device for the Intel Atom processor.
The DA6001 is to be used in the Harman International Automotive Division's in-vehicle infotainment command centres, with Dialog having already shipped the first engineering samples to the company. The companies have also recently signed an agreement to continue the collaboration for a successor device supporting Intel's forthcoming next generation Atom processor.
The DA6001 is the only available integrated power management and clock supply IC for the Intel Atom processor. It is targeted at embedded applications and meets the automotive industry's extended temperature and reliability standards. The integrated solution from Dialog allows a substantial reduction in the number of active and passive system components required in a design.
'Harman systems, using the Dialog technology, will deliver energy efficient scalable solutions with rich multimedia features to our global automotive customers; converging home and in vehicle entertainment,' commented Marek Neumann, Vice President Advanced Engineering at Harman International Automotive Division.
'Engaging closely with Dialog for this development, especially with their team's deep understanding of the Atom processor, was a welcome option for us in easing the design complexity of our system,' added Neumann.
Jalal Bagherli, CEO at Dialog commented, 'This collaboration with Harman Becker, an automotive infotainment market leader, is proving to be key for Dialog. It has provided an excellent product offering to fill the gap in the embedded market with Intel. It has also further cemented our role in satisfying the demanding needs of the automotive industry with a uniquely integrated system power and clock supply solution.'
Samples of the DA6001 and development board are now available, with volume production and automotive qualified devices available in the second half of 2009.

Dialog, TridonicAtco joint development centre for lighting control ICs
KIRCHHEIM & TECK, GERMANY & DORNBIRN, AUSTRIA: Dialog Semiconductor and TridonicAtco, a member of the Zumtobel Group, have established a joint development centre for next generation energy efficient lighting technology.
The move intensifies the longstanding successful collaboration between the two companies in the development of integrated circuits, such as the recently launched TridonicAtco XITEC chip family.
The development centre, drawing on the services of international experts in the fields of lighting, power management and signal processing technology, is to be based in two locations in Austria: Graz and Dornbirn.
The charter of the joint team is to develop innovative control ICs both for conventional light sources, such as fluorescent or HID lamps, and for emerging LEDs.
These devices will ensure the optimal control and regulation of light sources, at the same time maximising their service life and, through intelligent control using advanced digital signal processing, will be fundamental in minimising energy consumption.
The move will also further enhance the patent and intellectual property portfolio of the companies in the field of state of the art lighting control and semiconductor process technology.
"Semiconductors play an important role in improving power efficiencies, in reducing global energy consumption and in environmental sustainability," said Dr Jalal Bagherli, CEO of Dialog Semiconductor.
"The lighting industry is going through a period of rapid technological change. In establishing this partnership, I am delighted to be bringing our relationship with this industry leader to the next level as we together leverage our expertise to create the most power-efficient lighting systems possible."
TridonicAtco CEO Walter Ziegler was similarly enthusiastic about the new partnership: "By providing energy-efficient circuitry we enable our customers to realise sustainable lighting solutions. Through the new development centre we will be able to shorten our development cycles and to further reinforce our leading patent position in the field of state-of-the art lighting control gear.
"At the same time, this move sends out a signal that, despite the tough economic times, we are stepping up our investments in research and development to safeguard the long-term success of our business."
