Challenge

A consumer electronics brand designing lightweight AR glasses needed to fit a full application processor, wireless connectivity, and precision spatial tracking within a 45g frame operating for 8+ hours on a 600mAh battery — while dissipating 1.2W peak in a sealed enclosure.

Solution

SAMSUNG KGD LPDDR5 packaged directly on the optical module substrate alongside Qualcomm Snapdragon AR2 Gen1. TDK ICM-42688 IMU with 6-axis sensor fusion running at 1kHz ODR in a 2.5×2.5mm package. Power domain architecture by CoreWin FAE reduced idle power by 38%.

Key Outcomes

Frame weight: 43g (target <50g)
Battery life: 9.5 hours continuous operation
Thermal: surface temperature <38°C at 25°C ambient
Mass production: Q4 2025, 50K units first order
