AISonic™ Audio Edge Processors
Our AISonic™ Audio Edge Processors are optimized for machine learning, allowing for high compute and low power operation for voice activation, hands-free control and contextual audio processing in a range of mobile devices, TWS headsets, portable speakers, TVs and other IoT devices.
AISonic™ IA8201: Dual Core
The AISonic IA8201 is the industry’s first mobile-centric audio edge processor specifically designed for advanced audio and machine learning applications, enabling power-efficient intelligence and privacy at the edge. It offers robust voice activation and multi-microphone audio processing with the compute power to perform advanced audio output, context awareness and gesture control for today’s advanced consumer electronics, optimized for power-sensitive applications.
The IA8201 includes a high compute 128-bit core (DMX) with Syntiant's proprietary instruction set and a Tensilica HiFi3 core (HMD), both with AiSonic audio enhancements. The DMX is a 4-way floating-point SIMD processor targeted towards efficient, high-performance computing (e.g. beam-forming, barge-in, AEC), while the HMD is targeted towards efficient, low-power, wake-on-voice applications with a two-way floating-point SIMD processor. Both cores contain dedicated accelerators for FFT, peak finding and DNNs.
A rich set of audio, and general purpose high speed interfaces enable flexible interfacing with digital microphones, other sensors, and a host for further processing. 1MB of user RAM enables storage of multiple algorithms and voice keywords.
