Wolfson audio hub wins spot in new Samsung GALAXY Note II

Wolfson's WM1811 audio hub has been selected by Samsung for use in its new GALAXY Note 10.1 tablet, as well its latest smartphone, the GALAXY Note II.

"We are delighted that Samsung has chosen Wolfson's audio solution once again, this time for its latest innovative devices, the GALAXY Note 10.1 and GALAXY Note II," commented Mike Hickey, Wolfson's ceo. "Samsung's confidence in our technology is testament to the exceptional quality of our audio solutions, which enable manufacturers to provide consumers with differentiated audio experiences and optimised battery performance." Featuring an integrated stereo speaker driver and a high output power headphone driver, the WM1811 is designed to provide extremely clear audio playback for music and video while minimising power consumption. Its small size and fully integrated design means it requires fewer components than a discrete solution, resulting in a smaller pcb footprint and a reduced bom cost for the manufacturer.
