Dialog Semiconductor's DA6011 adopted by congatec for Qseven embedded PC (conga-QA6)
Business card sized Qseven platform, based on Intel(R) Atom(TM) processor E6xx series and Dialog's companion IC, demonstrated at Intel Developer Forum 2010
Kirchheim/Teck, Germany and IDF, San Francisco, 14th September 2010 - Dialog Semiconductor plc (FWB: DLG), a leading provider of highly integrated innovative power management semiconductor solutions, has announced that its DA6011, a companion IC for the Intel(R) Atom(TM) processor E6xx series, is being used in congatec's Qseven embedded PC conga-QA6 for clocking and power management.
Dialog's DA6011 with integrated power management and clock driver functionality is a single chip companion IC for the Intel Atom processor E6xx series, (formerly codenamed Tunnel Creek). The DA6011 was designed in conjunction with Dialog's Processor Partner Programme to maximise the efficiency by precisely regulating power and providing the clock source to the core components of the system based on the Intel Atom processor E6xx series- the CPU, flash memory, RAM and I/O hubs.
Both the Intel Atom processor E6xx series and the DA6011 were announced today at IDF - see www.diasemi.com/da6011pr.
At just 70x70mm the Qseven is amongst the world's smallest embedded PCs and has a footprint smaller than a typical business card. It is a low cost, low power board that only requires a user interface and battery, enabling new classes of embedded computing products that have small form factor and long battery life.
Jürgen Friedel, vice president and general manager of Dialog's automotive and industrial business unit said, 'The Qseven enables incredibly small PCs to be created, and to minimize battery size, we must maximise power efficiency. We've worked closely with both congatec and Intel to ensure the DA6011 precisely regulates power for those components at the heart of the Qseven.'
Gerhard Edi, CEO of congatec said, 'Every square millimetre of savings on the Qseven counts. A single chip power management solution was essential, allowing us to further shrink BOM, cost and power consumption to the lowest possible levels without compromise.'
