SHENZHEN, China, May 19, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Today, Goodix Technology showcased its expanded product portfolio with major

breakthroughs in sensing and connectivity solutions at the 2022 Goodix Tech

Seminar in Shenzhen, China. Based on the company's strategic layout, Goodix

continues to invest heavily in core technologies that drive innovation in IoT

applications for a new era of smart connectivity. Two highlights of the seminar

were the introduction of the new Bluetooth LE SoC and Time of Flight (ToF)

solutions.

Featured Innovation Accelerates the Connection of Everything

In recent years, the major theme of new technological developments features

heavily within the Internet of Things (IoT) field, which has caused widespread

transformation within a wide array of industries. Recent data from IoT

Analytics expected that the global number of connected IoT devices are to grow

at a CAGR of 22% to 27 billion active endpoints by 2025, bringing huge market

opportunities for smart wearables, smart home, and smart city connectivity

applications.

Leveraging years of innovation in low-power wireless technology, Goodix debuts

its new-generation Bluetooth LE SoC GR5526 series featuring stronger display

driving capability, lower power consumption and faster connection. The solution

integrates a dedicated 2.5D GPU to improve graphics rendering efficiency, and

supports over 30 FPS on a 454*454 resolution display screen, enabling a

superior visual experience for wearable device users. An ultra-low power system

architecture is adopted to reduce the power consumption during Bluetooth

transmission by 30% compared with previous generation products. Compatible with

the latest Bluetooth 5.3, the solution delivers excellent RF performance for a

more stable and rapid connection. Goodix is dedicated to innovating Bluetooth

LE technology with a new GR533x series targeted at the smart home, smart tag

markets to be released soon.

Additionally, Goodix's NB-IoT SoC solution that integrates an OpenCPU

application system has been successfully applied to smart water meters in a

joint cooperation with renowned industrial partners. Its innovative dual AP/CP

core architecture not only improves the system stability and connection

reliability, but also ensures ultra-low power consumption that can support the

long battery-life of smart meters. Featuring high integration, ease of use, and

competitive BoM cost, this solution will further extend Goodix's footprint in

the broader IoT market.

Aiming to build an open IoT ecosystem, Goodix will continue to work with

industry partners, and support mainstream integrated development environment

(IDE) with rich peripheral resources to help customers accelerate the

time-to-market of different wireless applications.

Creating a Smart Life with Diversified Sensing Applications

With strong expertise in acoustics, optics, and electronic sensing technology,

Goodix stands at the forefront of the advancing sophistication of IoT

applications.

During the seminar, Goodix demonstrated its Time of Flight (ToF) 3D sensing

solution which integrates a ToF image sensor and a laser driver to enable

high-precision depth measurement for various applications such as smartphones

and robots. Utilizing a self-developed sparse to dense algorithm, the solution

offers a 5-meter with error<1% high-precision ranging performance with low

power consumption, facilitating smartphones to create a more accurate photo

bokeh effect and a faster focusing capability at night. It also supports the

functions of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) and obstacle

avoidance for intelligent navigation of sweeping robots with its combination

solution of line-pattern and flood-pattern.

The ToF sensor features several patented technologies to help smart devices

achieve better ambient light suppression, anti-interference, and high dynamic

range (HDR). Together with an extensive set of hardware and software, reference

designs, algorithms, and SDKs, Goodix can deliver turn-key solutions to enable

the wider applications of ToF technology such as drone aircraft obstacle

avoidance and height measurement, as well as facial recognition, and automobile

safety.

In response to the strong growth of the wearable markets, Goodix has launched

a rich solution portfolio of health sensors and VersaSensor (multi-functional

interactive sensors) for smartwatches, bands, headphones, and VR/AR devices,

and won large-scale commercial adoption by well-known global brands. As a step

further, Goodix introduces its fingertip oximeter total solution that deploys

the medical grade algorithms. Cooperating with related applications, it can

provide effective health instructions and disease diagnosis & alerts for users

at home.

"We have always emphasized the principle of growing together with customers,"

said Sandy Hu, President of Goodix. "We have an unwavering focus on our core

technologies of sensing, processing, connectivity, and security. And in these

fields, we will continue to create powerful collaborations with industrial

leaders and ecosystem partners. Our aim is to expand commercial implementations

of these innovative technologies and to bring a more intelligent, and connected

life for consumers around the world."
