SMIC and Dolphin Integration Announce Strategic Partnership for Portable Media Players
Through this strategic alliance, the two companies affirm their willingness to ally their abilities in both design and fabrication in order to offer state-of-the-art solutions to their common customers in mature processes.
"We are enthusiastic about this alliance," declared Henry Liu, SMIC Senior Director of Design Services. "As a leading foundry that is recognized worldwide, we wanted the benefit of relying on Dolphin's robust audio virtual components for providing customers with the best performance mix for high volume SoCs."
"This partnership is a strong opportunity to extend our reach to diverse users, by making them benefit from the combination of SMIC's fabrication capacity and our highly reliable components," said Christophe Gaillard, Dolphin Integration's development manager. "Thanks to this alliance, we strengthen our relationship with SMIC and it paves the way to releases in more advanced processes."
The new shDAC95-Helium digital-to-analog converter from Dolphin, in SMIC's 0.11um and 0.13um technological processes, is now available under this agreement, and offers power consumption as low as 6.9 mW in playback mode and a SNR as high as 95 dB, marking it particularly useful for portable media player applications requiring high sound quality and long playback capability. Further products are in development.
