writes Intel has invested an undisclosed sum of money in Trigence Semiconductor to expand the use of Dnote audio technology:
The Dnote technology uses digital signals to directly drive an analog multiple moving coil speaker. Trigence's technology has been licensed to Japanese car-audio and amusement game manufacturers and the company also sells DSP chips that implement the Dnote technology.
Trigence said in a statement that money from Intel Capital would used to "expand integration of Dnote to computing devices, including Intel Architecture-based PCs, Ultrabook, and smartphones," and the company added that it expects to expand both its LSI sales and licensing businesses as a result.
