Low Power: Consumer Electronics' Catch 22 - A Pavilion Panel
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 from 11:30am - 12:15pm
Moscone Center, South Hall, DAC Pavilion Booth # 1928
Digital mobile devices drive significant semiconductor content. These devices increasingly stress the low-power requirements for longer battery life. However, low power conflicts with consumer electronics' traditional requirement: low cost, driving the packaging and thermal requirements. Ana Hunter, vice president of foundry for Samsung Semiconductor, joins a panel of experts to debate where in the design chain tradeoffs can be made.
