Syntiant and Infineon Offer Always-on Ultra-Low-Power Local Voice Control

Syntiant, a California-based AI chip company focused on moving machine learning from the cloud to edge devices, announced a partnership with Infineon Technologies, to service the rising demand for voice user interface (VUI) in electronic devices. Optimized for battery-powered devices from true wireless earbuds to mobile phones to smart speakers, Syntiant’s partnership with Infineon enables more efficient voice control and custom command detection to numerous product configurations.

QuickLogic, the developer of ultra-low power multi-core voice-enabled SoCs, embedded FPGA IP, and Endpoint AI solutions, announced the launch of its EOS S3AI platform for endpoint Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) applications. The new AI platform provides all the hardware blocks needed to enable low power AI at the connected device endpoint. It comes with time-series (continuous) sensors, including accelerometer / gyroscope / magnetometer motion sensors and two digital microphones (PDMs).
