One of the main reasons the 820 processor has been so successful in so many designs is because it introduced multiple new technologies, all tightly integrated and power optimized, designed to bring user experience innovation to the mobile industry. But the innovation doesn’t stop there. This week, Qualcomm Technologies is announcing a follow-up to the successfulSnapdragon 820 processor: the Snapdragon 821. Building on the technology leadership introduced with the Snapdragon 820platform, the 821 is engineered to deliver faster speed, improved power savings, and greater application performance, ensuring 821 powered devices keep pace with the growing performance demands of users to deliver the unmatched user experiences the Snapdragon 800 tier is known for. The Snapdragon 821 is engineered to deliver a 10% performance increase over the 820 with the Qualcomm Kryo quad-core CPU, reaching speeds up to 2.4GHz. Why would you introduce something to replace what many consider the best mobile processor available today? Simple, we’re not. Rather than replace the Snapdragon 820, the 821 is designed to complement and extend the competitive strengths of our Snapdragon 800 lineup. The Snapdragon 820 introduced a number of highly optimized and custom-designed core technologies and established an early and clear leadership position in premium tier mobile computing. Consider, for example, the X12 LTE modem. It

chargers and adapters while the IR11688S is targeted for LLC SMPS in televisions, desktops, silver boxes and micro-servers. Both, the IR1161L and IR11688S offer 200 V direct sensing which eliminates the need for external voltage dividers. The family also features programmable MOT (minimum on time) ensuring reliable operation from no-load to full-load. The low quiescent current capability meets the standby requirements of the new 2016 efficiency standard in the industry. Availability Volume production of the IR1161L and IR11688S has started. More information about the new SSR family is available at www.infineon. com/sric.

New synchronous rectification ICs for simplicity and efficiency in SMPS applications Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) released the IR1161L and IR11688S secondary synchronous rectification (SSR) family of Controller ICs to complete Infineon’s product offerings for SMPS applications. The IR1161L and IR11688S SSR ICs meet the new 2016 standards set by the U.S. Department of Energy and the “European Code of Conduct for Energy Efficiency in Data Centre” which demand a 1 to 3 percent efficiency improvement over previous requirements. Taking 2 percent saving as an average for new adapters, US adult notebook users alone can save 525 GWh per year – which is enough to power New York City for at least 40 days. Together with Infineon’s best in class energy saving OptiMOS™ and StrongIRFET™ MOSFETs, this family of SSR ICs provides a simple solution for SMPS while improving the overall efficiency. The IR1161L is targeted for flyback SMPS in

Snapdragon 821 builds on 820 processor success Since thebeginningof theyear, when the first Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 powered smartphones were announced, the 820 processor has been a leader in the mobile industry with over 115 premium smartphone and tablet device deployments, supporting the latest in cutting-edge mobile applications, and helping create more immersive user experiences while also being deployed in new and innovative ways, like supporting safer driving and navigation in cars.
