Chipset supporting Fast Charger Protocol (FCP), enhanced by Dialog's
SmartDefender(TM) technology used in Huawei's latest Honor 7 smartphone
model

London UK, 03 August 2015 - Dialog Semiconductor plc (FWB:DLG), a provider
of highly integrated power management, AC/DC power conversion, solid state
lighting (SSL) and Bluetooth(R) Smart technology, today announced that
Huawei's new Honor 7 smartphones use Dialog's iW630+iW1780+iW671 Rapid
Charge adapter chipset to enable Huawei's Fast Charger Protocol (FCP). FCP
is a proprietary protocol from Huawei, designed to charge smartphones and
other mobile devices significantly faster than conventional USB charging
technology. Dialog's iW630+iW1780+iW671 chipset provides very high
efficiency and high power density needed for small form-factor
fast-charging smartphones and mobile device power adapters.

"As a leader in global communications technologies, Huawei continues to
deliver smartphones that enhance the user experience with better design,
smarter functionality and exceptional user experience," said Mr. Zhaoxing
Zhou, Power Management Expert of Huawei Device. "We selected Dialog's
chipset to support our Fast Charger Protocol based on their established
expertise in digital power control to enable lower cost, higher efficiency
and more reliable fast charging power adapters."

"In today's digital world of 'always on' mobile applications, social media
and video streaming, leading manufacturers are quickly delivering
smartphones that address consumer demand for faster charging," said Davin
Lee, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Power Conversion
Business Group at Dialog. "Dialog is delighted to support Huawei's
innovative Fast Charger Protocol in its latest Honor 7 smartphone,
solidifying our leadership position with an estimated 70% for fast charging
power conversion IC's in China's smartphone market."

The iW630 Rapid Charge interface IC resides on the secondary side of the
AC/DC charger power supply and works with Dialog's iW1780 PrimAccurate(TM)
primary-side digital pulse width modulation (PWM) controller. The iW1780
uses a unique secondary-to-primary digital communication link signal to
