Lowest power 12-degrees of freedom (DOF) advanced sensor development kit to
provide increased gesture recognition

London, United Kingdom - 13 October 2015 - Dialog Semiconductor plc
(XETRA:DLG), a provider of highly integrated power management, AC/DC power
conversion, solid state lighting (SSL) and Bluetooth(R) Smart wireless
technology, announces a collaboration with Bosch Sensortec to create an
extremely low power smart sensor platform that combines Bosch Sensortec's
sensors with Dialog's Bluetooth Smart technology.

The product resulting from the collaboration is the world's lowest power
12-DOF smart sensor reference platform for gesture recognition in wearable
computing devices and immersive gaming, including augmented reality, and 3D
indoor mapping and navigation.

The platform combines Dialog's DA14580 Bluetooth Smart System-on-Chip (SoC)
with three low power sensors from Bosch Sensortec: the BMM150 for 3-axis
geo-magnetic field measurement, the BME280 pressure, humidity and
temperature sensor, and the 6-axis BMI160 (a combination of a 3-axis
accelerometer and 3-axis gyroscope in one chip). The resulting unit, built
onto a 14 x 14 mm2 printed circuit board, consumes less than 500 µA from a
3V coin cell when updating and transferring all 12 x 16 bits of data
wirelessly to a smartphone.

Udo-Martin Gomez, CTO of Bosch Sensortec, says: "The result of this close
cooperation between Bosch Sensortec and Dialog is the world's lowest power
Bluetooth Smart connected sensors platform. Higher functional integration
and lower power consumption are key design goals for devices at the heart
of mobile consumer electronic products. From our companies' joint
experience, we see many opportunities to deliver competitive advantages for
our customers by creating smaller, highly integrated and more energy
efficient smart connected solutions."

Mark Tyndall, SVP of Corporate Development and Strategy at Dialog says,
"Our work with Bosch Sensortec is bringing together best-in-class
Bluetooth, power management and sensor technologies that enable our
customers to develop high-performance, innovative products with
exceptionally long battery life. Combining the complementary talents of our
respective design teams enables us to keep customers at the forefront of
