Dear Ms. Collins:

Synaptics Incorporated (the “Company”) thanks you for the correspondence of the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission’) dated February 21, 2017 (the “Comment Letter”), relating to the aforementioned Form 10-K and other documents.

We note that the Commission has asked that the Company either respond to the Commission’s comments in the Comment Letter within 10 business days, or advise when the Company will provide a response. We are currently reviewing the Comment Letter. The Company respectfully requests that it be allowed to tender our response no later than March 17, 2017. This additional time will enable the Company to consult with the appropriate individuals in order to fully and adequately respond to the Commission’s comments, particularly in light of the fact that several of our key employees are absent from the office this week and next week for personal and business reasons.

If you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact me by telephone at (408) 904-2741.

Very truly yours,
Synaptics Incorporated
