ELECTRONICA – Munich, Germany – Nov. 11, 2008 - ON Semiconductor (Nasdaq: ONNN), a leading global supplier of high performance, energy efficient, silicon solutions has introduced the NCP2991, a new generation of Class AB audio amplifier dedicated to providing superior audio performance without sacrificing power efficiency for portable and wireless applications.
“Having a clear, noise-free audio output is crucial to the user’s satisfaction of a cell phone or portable media device,” said Manor Narayanan, vice president and general manager of ON Semiconductor’s Digital and Consumer Products Group. “Hardware designers, however, typically encounter unexpected noise issue coming from the audio system. ON Semiconductors new Class AB amplifier ensures noise-free amplification and is resistive to external noise sources so it guarantees a high quality audio performance. By enforcing our amplifier’s robustness, we expect to minimize the audio designer’s effort and design cycle time.”
