London, United Kingdom - September 18, 2018 - Dialog Semiconductor plc
(XETRA: DLG), a provider of highly integrated and configurable power
management, AC/DC power conversion, charging, and connectivity will be the
first in the industry to demonstrate Stereo High Fidelity (HiFi) quality
audio streaming over Bluetooth low energy at this year's Bluetooth World
event in Santa Clara, California. The technology, which enables true
wireless stereo audio streaming over Bluetooth low energy, will be showcased
in a proof of concept implementation to Bluetooth SIG Associate members at
the event.
As demand for wireless audio has increased, True Wireless Stereo (TWS)
systems, featuring no wires between earbuds, have emerged as the pinnacle of
the technology for consumer and professional use alike. These systems have
proven challenging to develop: existing implementations make use of a
combination of classic Bluetooth and Bluetooth low energy technology for
sound distribution between left and right channels, often resulting in
imbalanced battery usage and limited battery life for the products.
To solve this, Dialog has developed an audio over Bluetooth low energy proof
of concept running on its widely adopted SmartBond(TM) SoC's, the first
implementation to make use of Bluetooth low energy only. The implementation
allows for best-in-class audio synchronization between left and right
channels, together with the low power consumption afforded by Bluetooth low
energy technology.
"There is a clear demand from end-users for True Wireless Stereo audio,
particularly in environments where even a single wire between earbuds can
prove cumbersome and frustrating," said Sean McGrath, Senior VP & GM of
Dialog Semiconductor's Connectivity Business Group. "This proof of concept
demonstrates Bluetooth low energy's potential to deliver the solution
developers need, while overcoming the limitations of existing technology
that have traditionally held devices back from their true potential."
"By solving the issues of power consumption and synchronization, we are
showing how Bluetooth low energy could address two of the biggest complaints
from True Wireless audio users. Manufacturers would have the ability to
deliver True Wireless Stereo audio products that can simultaneously stream
HiFi quality audio while delivering long lasting battery life for their
products in the consumer and professional wireless audio market," added
McGrath.
Dialog Semiconductor will be showcasing its True Wireless Stereo Audio over
Bluetooth low energy proof of concept at Bluetooth World 2018 in Santa
Clara, California, from September 18-19, 2018.
