Wolfson Microelectronics has announced that ZiiLABS has selected its WM8352 power management IC with integrated stereo codec, for inclusion on its ZMS-08 system module and Zii Development Kit.
The Zii Development Kit is a hardware and software platform for the evaluation and rapid development of handheld and embedded products based on the ZiiLABS ZMS applications processor family.
The WM8352 features a power management subsystem and an integrated high fidelity audio codec, designed to deliver high performance audio, reduced power consumption and extended battery life. According to Wolfson, it provides savings of up to 25% on the device BOM and up to 50% on the board footprint.
The ZiiLABS ZMS-08 is an application processor designed to deliver Blu-ray quality 1080p video, 3d graphics and multimedia capabilities within a low power environment.
Tim Lewis, marketing director at ZiiLABS, said: "We selected the WM8352 because of Wolfson's world class expertise in audio and power management mixed signal design and the excellent application support they have provided throughout the project. The WM8352 and ZMS-08 processor form a powerful combination that will help designers differentiate their products, shorten system design times and reduce the requirement for additional components."
