Leadcore Technology

Leadcore Technology is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Leadcore Technology rather than just read about it. In short: Leadcore Technology is a Chinese fabless semiconductor company that provides system-on-chip solutions for smartphones and tablets, specializing in the TD-SCDMA and TD-LTE network standards used in China and in other countries. According to the Market Intelligence & Consulting Institute, Leadcore was the fourth largest integrated circuit design company in China by revenue in 2008.

Key takeaways

Leadcore Technology belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Leadcore Technology to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Leadcore Technology from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Leadcore Technology is a Chinese fabless semiconductor company that provides system-on-chip solutions for smartphones and tablets, specializing in the TD-SCDMA and TD-LTE network standards used in China and in other countries. According to the Market Intelligence & Consulting Institute, Leadcore was the fourth largest integrated circuit design company in China by revenue in 2008. DigiTimes said that in Q2 2014 Leadcore was the sixth-largest supplier of smartphone application processors in China with a market share of 3% of all units, which represents unit shipments of about 3 million. On May 26, 2017, Qualcomm (China) Holdings Co., Ltd., Beijing Jianguang Asset Management Co., Ltd., Leadcore Technology Co., Ltd. and Beijing Zhilu Asset Management Co., Ltd. jointly signed an agreement to establish a joint venture company - Lingsheng Technology (Guizhou) Ltd. (JLQ Technology). The joint venture will focus on the smartphone chipset business in China.

Product list

Smartphone/tablet processors

The LC1810/1811 are an older generation platform supporting the Android 4.0 platform. For the camera interface, LC1810 has a 20M pixels ISP, the LC1811 an 8M pixels ISP. The LC1813/1913 were released in 2013 and support Android 4.3. Both chips have a 13M pixels ISP. The LC1913 tablet processor has USB-OTG support as an extra feature. The LC1860 and LC1960 with hexa-core CPU and LTE support were announced in 2014 and support Android 4.4. The LC1860 has a 20M pixels ISP. The LC1860C is a lower-end version of the LC1860 with quad-core CPU, lower GPU speed, single-channel memory interface and a 13M pixels ISP. The company also offers feature phone processors, including the LC1712, manufactured at 55 nm, and the 65 nm L1808B.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Leadcore Technology

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Leadcore Technology claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Leadcore Technology before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Leadcore Technology ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Leadcore Technology

In research: Leadcore Technology appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Leadcore Technology in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Leadcore Technology is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Chinese brands, Companies based in Shanghai, Fabless semiconductor companies, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Leadcore Technology outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
