First Multi-Zone Time-of-Flight Sensor
Headlines STMicroelectronics Technology Powering Samsung Flagship
Galaxy Note20 Ultra Phones
- Feature-packed large-screen smartphone applies multi-zone
direct Time-of-Flight sensor and other ST MEMS1 and EEPROMs2 for
exceptional camera performance
- Lowest-noise, lowest power-consumption sensors with
highest-quality software assure outstanding user experience
Geneva, Switzerland, October 21, 2020 –
STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor
leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics
applications, revealed that the newly unveiled Samsung Galaxy
Note20 Ultra uses top-notch ST sensing and control technology,
enhancing the smartphones’ high-end features while squeezing every
watt from the power budget with minimal noise and package size. The
Galaxy Note20 similarly leverages ST’s MEMS pressure sensors,
inertial measurement units, and EEPROMs.
With camera performance and user experience becoming more and
more important in consumers’ choice of their personal communication
devices, the Galaxy Note20 Ultra, and the Galaxy Note20, have
placed strong emphasis on capturing images and video in stunning
sharpness and detail. Samsung’s accent on managing performance and
power efficiency led them to select ST’s newest low-power 6-axis
MEMS Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and EEPROM with outstanding
low-power performance.
An ST MEMS barometric pressure sensor measures the atmospheric
pressure as well as the user altitude and can enable precise
fitness tracking and many other applications where vertical
detection is important. In addition, to provide ultra-fast and
accurate focusing for complex scenes where enhanced camera
performance is required, Samsung added ST’s groundbreaking
FlightSenseTM Time-of-Flight sensor, the world’s first, multi-zone
all-in-one module, to the Note20 Ultra.
Another key feature, the S Pen stylus in the Note 20 series
embeds an ST 6-axis IMU for quick gesture detection and
interpretation. The ultra-low-power ST device includes ST’s unique
Machine Learning logic to simplify the analysis of the gesture
interpretation for almost latency free responsiveness and
precision.
Enabling these new features through their low-noise, low-power
design, ST’s IMU and pressure sensor also efficiently perform
standard Android OS features. These include detecting device
orientation, steps, tilt, motion, and air pressure.
“Samsung’s commitment to low power and high performance, evident
in its Galaxy Note20 and Galaxy Note20 Ultra, contributes to
pushing us to maximize performance and power efficiency in all of
our products,” said Marco Cassis, President, Sales, Marketing,
Communications and Strategy Development, STMicroelectronics. “Our
broad portfolio of sensors, along with EEPROM memory, power, and
other devices, offers an outstanding range of options to best
optimize performance and power.”
