OKI ML2650 LSI Headphone Amplifier for Longer Music Playback on Mobile Phones

OKI ML2650 LSI Enjoy music playback on your mobile phones with low-power consumption, thanks to the latest ML2650 LSI headphone amplifier. The Oki ML2650 LSI headphone amplifier supports battery-powered mobile phones and works on an extremely competent D-class amplifier equipped with a 64KB SRAM.

Measuring 2.54 x 2.70 mm, it promises to deliver a longer battery life for portable devices that feature music playback. It achieves this by a highly efficient D-class amplifier equipped with a 64KB SRAM that temporarily saves music data.

Speaking about the ML2650 headphone amplifier, Hiroshi Enomoto, President of Silicon Solutions Company at OKI, stated, “OKI developed the ML2650, which includes a D-class headphone amplifier to connect with the external CPU, a 64KB SRAM, and a 16 bit stereo DA converter, all on a single chip that will help to reduce load from the CPU. This LSI will enable mobile device/phone manufacturers to easily extend the music playback time. In addition, with the ultra small package size at 2.54 mm x 2.70 mm, it will contribute in smaller devices as it significantly reduces the packaging space.”

OKI has begun shipping the ML2650 LSI headphone amplifier and is expected to be available from October 2008.
