Intersil's D2Audio DTV SoundSuite(TM) Demonstration

Intersil's D2Audio SoundSuite collection of advanced audio processing technologies delivers a rich and vibrant audio experience, improving the normally flat audio performance of most consumer devices. The live demo, powered by D2Audio's latest Digital Audio Engine (DAE-4) will allow visitors to experience how SoundSuite products, with psycho-acoustic enhancements, dramatically improve the listening experience in 2-channel and multi-channel systems. The demonstrated set of SoundSuite advanced intelligent features include:

 
--  D2Audio WideSound(TM): An advanced 2-channel image field enhancement
    using optimized spatialization
--  D2Audio DeepBass(TM): A sophisticated bass frequency enhancement
    technique using psycho-acoustic technology and dynamic equalization
--  D2Audio AudioAlign(TM): Sound position and alignment to the video
    display
--  D2Audio DigitalEQ(TM): System level loudspeaker correction and
    optimization, combined with content/source enhancement.

ISL29015 Proximity Sensor

Intersil is the recognized leader in Ambient Light Sensor technology, delivering unmatched spectral response performance in any light condition. This product line has won or been nominated for some of the industry's most prestigious innovation awards and includes both light-to-current and light-to-digital options in clear ODFN packaging. The ISL29015 proximity sensor, the latest in this family of products, will be on display.

The ISL29015 combines an ambient light sensor along with an integrated infrared sensor, an LED driver for an external infrared LED, and signal conditioning processing. This one-chip proximity sensing solution eliminates up to four external discrete functions, increasing available board-space. The demonstration will enable booth visitors to see the ICs ambient light sensing and proximity sensing performance in real-time, as well as the configuration software that is bundled with the evaluation boards available through the Intersil website.

Booth Activity

Intersil's President and Chief Executive Officer David B. Bell, along with many other analog and mixed signal experts will be available for press and analyst interviews throughout the conference. To schedule an interview before or during CES, please contact Adam Latham at (321) 724-7982, or by email at alatham@intersil.com.
