Tokyo, Japan—Oki Electric Industry Co. Ltd. has started to sample a speaker amplifier LSI for small, thin portable devices.

Leverages OKI's proprietary signal processing technology, the ML2620 LSI has a built-in circuit that can replay loud volume with a small speaker. With speakers measuring 10mm-20mm in diameter, it can replay music with approximately twice the volume of conventional OKI models.

The ML2620 will be ship in volume starting December 2007.
