Synaptics announced an AI MCU at Embedded World today, based around Arm’s Ethos-U55 NPU (neural processing unit) and Cortex-M55 CPU, plus a low-power Cortex-M4 CPU and Synaptic’s in-house mini-NPU. “SR110 dynamically adjusts its compute power based on real-time system demands,” according to the company. “This context-aware computing enables ultra-low-power operation while maintaining high-performance AI capabilities when needed.” There are three ...
ST has used near-threshold logic to create an MCU series that will run at 117Coremark/mW and has a <2µA stop mode. “The STM32U3 series offers greater power efficiency in run mode compared to previous product generations. It is the first STM32 near-threshold design, which drastically reduces dynamic consumption,” said the company, which is aiming them at IoT devices which operate ...
ST has integrated six accelerometers into a 2.5 x 3mm inertial measurement unit for sports wearables. “Capable of measuring events ranging from slight movements to intense impacts with equal accuracy,” said ST. The “low-g sensor provides high accuracy with limited range [and the] high-g sensor offers an extended range with less accuracy”. Packaged in a 0.86mm thick LGA and called ...
