Dialog Semiconductor Expands Power Management Market with Industry's First
PMICs for Smart TVs and Set-top Boxes

Highly integrated power management technology using proven smartphone
concepts now extended to digital TV, STB and streaming media applications

London, United Kingdom - February 3, 2016 - 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 the company is entering the smart TV and set-top box
(STB) market with a family of highly integrated PMICs that leverage its
power management leadership in smartphones and tablet computing. Dialog is
currently sampling three PMICs for low to high-end Smart TVs to major OEMs.
The devices were developed in partnership with TV System-on-Chip (SoC)
vendors and have been proven in several reference designs.

Jalal Bagherli, CEO of Dialog, said, "Dialog invented the high integrated
configurable PMIC concept for smartphones, tablets and other portable
devices and we lead the market today. We have now adapted the concept to
the power architecture of TVs and the resulting PMICs will radically change
for the better how the TV analog power path will be designed going forward.
There has been an absence of analog innovation in TVs for years, something
that we're changing with this new generation of products. The technology is
based on our heritage of mobile market success and we will once again
deliver compelling benefits to consumer product manufacturers."

According to analyst Gartner, over 550 million TVs and STBs will be made in
2017. Increasing demand for high definition (4K) televisions is driving TV
sales growth and the STB market is experiencing particularly rapid
expansion in India and China. In addition, the advent of media streaming
services such as Netflix, Hulu and Amazon TV has created new products such
as video streaming sticks and personal media boxes in which the new PMICs
may also be used.

Costs savings will be achieved because one PMIC will replace up to 130
discrete components typically found in a TV today. As a result, printed
