Dialog IC Solutions for Smart Home Applications

Smart homes and smart buildings use automation technology to provide homeowners with intelligent feedback and information by monitoring many aspects of the home. Dialog's product portfolio, including SmartBond™ DA1468x, DA1469x and low-power Wi-Fi, can help homes become more connected, safer and more convenient. We offer a range of solutions for smart door locks, window sensors, smart lighting, security cameras and temperature monitoring controls, while meeting the market's growing demands for reliability, cost and energy efficiency. For example, a smart home system can control lighting, or a refrigerator can classify food, suggest menus, recommend healthy alternatives and reorder food when it runs out.

Safety

Smart door locks have been steadily increasing in popularity over the past few years. When smart door locks were first introduced to the market, many homeowners and users were hesitant to upgrade to smart door locks because their traditional door lock key systems still worked well. If security was a concern, they could easily upgrade their door locks. However, smart door locks offer homeowners more than just a security upgrade, their automated features provide users with further convenience and efficiency gains that traditional door locks cannot provide.

control

Internet-connected devices like smart outlets can turn on and off anything that plugs into a standard wall outlet. Simply plug a smart outlet into a wall outlet and it will work with anything from lamps to TVs, cable boxes, coffee makers, and more. Plus, using a user-friendly smartphone app, smart outlets can provide information about your usage and power usage, and even show you the total cost of running a particular device.

Energy Management

The great appeal of a smart home is that it enables owners to remotely control various parts of their home and configure schedules for devices in the smart home system to help control costs and improve energy efficiency (e.g. green homes) while providing added convenience and time savings.

Convenience

Smart home appliances are designed to make our lives more convenient. Internet-connected devices can monitor and maintain the operation of smart home systems from almost anywhere. With the touch of a button, smartphones can help control smart appliances, from turning on the washing machine to checking the stock in the refrigerator and even troubleshooting malfunctions.

Audio processors for smart speakers and other home automation applications

Smart speakers connected to smartphones or the cloud at home are still an increasingly popular consumer application. They integrate Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for audio streaming, as well as far-field beamforming, AEC, hotwords or other voice control, and traditional audio functions such as audio equalization.

Dialog’s universal audio platform, with the SmartBeat IC at the core of the system, addresses the needs of the smart building market and offers a range of ICs to broaden the range of applications. These ICs can be combined to help customers create a complete system, including:

• SmartBeat audio processor for sound effects and input processing (Hotword, etc.)

• Multiple PDM inputs for multiple microphone arrays

• Radio interface for 2.4 GHz Bluetooth HCI devices

• Efficient, compact, easy-to-use 10W Class D amplifier

• External power management PMIC enables more efficient DC/DC

• AC/DC power conversion, current consumption is 0 when no load
