Dialog Bluetooth low energy success and leadership in wearables continues
at Xiaomi with their recently launched activity tracking band; one of the
most anticipated wearable devices of 2016

London, United Kingdom - June 28, 2016 - Dialog Semiconductor plc
(FWB:DLG), a provider of highly integrated power management, AC/DC power
conversion, solid state lighting (SSL) and Bluetooth(R) low energy
technology, today announced that Xiaomi, one of China's fastest growing
electronics companies, has selected the company's Bluetooth DA14681
Wearable-on-Chip(TM) to power its recently launched Mi Band 2 activity
tracking wrist band.

The Mi Band 2, developed in collaboration with Xiaomi's strategic partner
Huami, adds a 0.42-inch organic LED (OLED) screen and debuts smartwatch-
style notifications for text and email. That, combined with a single button
below the display, enables scrolling options including displaying time,
steps and heart rate information. Compared to the hugely popular previous
generation, the Mi Band 2 includes optical heart rate monitoring and
improved fitness tracking capability. Additionally, an updated pedometer
algorithm coupled with an ultra-low power accelerometer provides accurate
step tracking. Sophisticated sleep monitoring remains a key feature. A
built-in vibration motor alerts the user providing a discrete warning to
the wearer that they've been sitting too long. The Mi Band 2 is water and
dust-resistant achieving IP67 certification.

"Xiaomi established themselves as a world leader in low cost fitness bands
with the launch of the Mi Band in 2014 which was based on our SmartBond(TM)
Bluetooth low energy technology," said Sean McGrath, Senior Vice President
and General Manager, Connectivity, Automotive & Industrial Business Group.
"With our latest high integrated SmartBond(TM) DA14681 Wearable-on-Chip(TM)
at its core, providing connectivity, application processing, sensor fusion
and advanced power management functionality, the Mi Band 2 is even better
positioned to further grow share in the rapidly expanding wearable market,"
added McGrath.

Dialog's DA14681 enables the Xiaomi Mi Band 2 to deliver up to 20 days of
battery power from its 70mAh battery maintaining its status as one of the
