Thanks to Hackster.io for spreading the good vibes. Nick Bild gives a quick overview of how our Synaptics Resonate™ technology uses piezoelectric transducers to produce high-quality audio and haptic feedback directly through a device’s display.
 
He discusses that while smartphones have undergone numerous advancements, certain components, such as speakers and haptic motors, have remained relatively unchanged. What sets our approach apart is minimal impact on device thickness –and eliminates the need for holes in the casing, offering a sleek and modern design.

Thanks to Mark Vena for chatting with our CEO Michael Hurlston on the latest coming out of Synaptics including how we are advancing the state of the art in IoT and #EdgeAI with our #wireless and edge compute solutions.

Micro Electronics sat with our CEO Michael Hurlston during his recent visit to Taiwan to discuss our #IoT solutions and leadership in emerging edge #AI applications. The conversation covers much of our portfolio including how we differentiate through an emphasis on processing and connectivity (per our recent introduction of Synaptics Astra (https://lnkd.in/ezg8afHw). 

Recognizing the large potential growth for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth they discuss the wide range of performance needs Synaptics is addressing. They also touch on various AI processing applications we are providing such as image enhancement, precision maintenance, user presence detection (UPD), smart energy management, smart medical insight, and Wi-Fi sensing, etc.

In automotive, Micro Electronics explains how our SmartBridge (SB7900) local dimming IC is allowing designers to achieve larger, higher contrast, and higher resolution automotive touch displays.

Imagine being able to make the display of a mobile phone, laptop, or wearable act as a high-fidelity speaker and haptic feedback source. Thanks to the ‘magic’ of #piezoelectric transducers – and some proven know-how in audio and touch technology from Synaptics – such a display could be available in devices soon. It’s based on a chip we have developed that incorporates a low-noise, high-voltage boost amplifier and a digital signal processor that sits on the device’s main board and drives a ceramic piezoelectric transducer attached to the back of the display. Read more about our audio innovation -  which has also earned us a finalist spot in an award competition at #SXSW SXSW-  in the latest issue of IEEE Spectrum magazine. Vineet Ganju
