MILPITAS, Calif. -- Enhanced Performance, Full-Color Display Capability Leverages Innovative Embedded Memory Technology Accessible from Foundry Design Ecosystem

Dialog Semiconductor Plc. (Nasdaq:DLGS) (FWB:DLG), a developer of innovative mixed-signal silicon solutions for wireless products, today announced the delivery of a new line of color liquid crystal display (LCD) drivers for the mobile phone market, utilizing value-added process solutions from Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing (Nasdaq:CHRT) (SGX-ST:Chartered), one of the world's top three dedicated semiconductor foundries, and design solutions from eMemory Technology, Inc., one of Asia's most innovative embedded memory suppliers.

This latest product innovation builds upon an existing relationship between the companies starting in 1998, which has resulted in Chartered's manufacturing of a variety of other LCD and power management products for the mixed-signal standard product provider. The Chartered design solution, comprising a comprehensive portfolio of proven solutions from electronic design automation (EDA) and intellectual property (IP) innovators, also provides Dialog Semiconductor with access to eMemory's one-time programmable (OTP) non-volatile memory (NVM) solution. Proven on Chartered's 0.35-micron manufacturing process, the eMemory solution helped enhance the performance of Dialog Semiconductor's new DA8912A and DA8913A LCD drivers announced today. The enhanced color LCD drivers are manufactured using Chartered's 0.35-micron process, thus streamlining the path for Dialog Semiconductor to achieve first-time success from design-through-manufacturing.

Dialog Semiconductor's family of color display drivers provides a single-chip solution for color STN (super-twisted nematic) LCDs, aimed at the growing number of wireless handsets with high-resolution color and dual displays with advanced multimedia, video and gaming capabilities and requiring fast-moving images. The color STN LCD drivers provide excellent resolution of up to 65,000 colors, and a video rate of over 15 frames per second, addressing a growing trend for mobile phone users to demand more information from their display.
