National Semiconductor Showcases Latest Analog Products and Highlights Its Innovative PowerWise Power Management Solution at ARM Developers' Conference An Invitation to Visit National at the ARM Developers' Conference, Santa Clara Convention Center, October 19-21, Booth #419 SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- WHAT: The ARM Developers' Conference showcases ARM and its technology and tools partners, including National Semiconductor's PowerWise(TM) technology for powering next-generation portable devices. The conference offers more than 180 classes, labs, hands-on workshops and panel discussions, with presentations from five of National's portable power management engineers. NATIONAL DEMOS: National will feature four power-saving technology and product demonstrations: -- PowerWise Technology -- Adaptive Voltage Scaling -- DVS926 Platform This demo shows power reduction using dynamic and adaptive voltage scaling running an MPEG4 movie clip to demonstrate power savings. This demo also highlights the ARM Intelligent Energy Manager (IEM) plus National's PowerWise APC and LP5550 EMU -- PowerWise Technology -- Dual Domain Adaptive Voltage Scaling Featuring a PowerWise-Enabled Camera: This demo shows multi-voltage-domain adaptive voltage scaling on the TSMC 130nm process with dual ARM7 TDMI-S CPU cores running up to 96MHz. The demonstration platform will include full instrumentation to display measured power reduction with voltage and frequency scaling. This is the first demonstration of a fully integrated PowerWise Advanced Power Controller (APC) and provides active image captures. -- PWI(TM) Open-Standard Evaluation Kit Demonstrates the PWI open-standard interface for connectivity between SoC and the voltage regulation system -- PWI-Compliant Energy Management Unit Highlights National's LP5550 and PWI 1.0-compliant EMU -- "Flip-style" cellular handset: This demonstrates National's technology leadership products for cellular handsets and features the LM4857 3D/stereo audio subsystem, highly power-efficient LP3936, FPD94028/93140 chipset, and LM2501/02 chipsets with Mobile Pixel Link technology.
