PSOC™ Edge: Next-Gen Machine-Learning MCUs
High-performance, low-power, secured MCUs with hardware-assisted machine learning (ML) acceleration
Overview
PSOC™ Edge is designed for next-generation responsive compute and control applications, featuring hardware-assisted machine learning (ML) acceleration. This new family of MCUs delivers next-level end-user experiences by enabling end products to be more intelligent and intuitively usable, thereby lowering the barrier in human-machine interaction and adding contextual awareness to end applications, all while providing robust privacy and safety protection through embedded Edge Protect technologies. PSOC™ Edge is part of a full Edge system solution, which includes microcontrollers (MCUs), software, and security.
The PSOC™ Edge devices are based on the high-performance Arm® Cortex®-M55, including Helium™ DSP support paired with Arm® Ethos™-U55 and Cortex-M33 paired with Infineon’s ultra-low-power NNLite neural network accelerator.
The enhanced intelligence of the PSOC™ Edge series adds support for advanced graphics and audio- and vision-based applications to the extensive set of human interface modes (touch, graphics, voice) available in earlier generation PSOC™ devices.
The new series includes four product platforms PSOC™ Edge E81, E82, E83 and E84 enabling easy migration of applications within the family, as well as an upgrade path for earlier generation designs.
