The incredible shrinking chip--CES 2015
A significant amount of real estate inside your cell phone is taken up by a chip called a power management integrated circuit (PMIC). The chip delivers power from the battery to different areas within the phone, an efficient but bulky system.
Now, NSF-funded small business Lion Semiconductor has designed a chip that is two-to-three times smaller than existing ones. A smaller chip means more room for a bigger battery--and longer battery life--or a thinner, smaller device. Wonyoung Kim, co-founder and CEO of Lion Semiconductor, explained what the technology does at 2015 International CES.
