PSOC™ Edge – The next generation of MCUs for Machine Learning

The PSOC™ Edge series is a cutting-edge solution designed to power the next generation of responsive computing and control applications. At its core, this innovative family of microcontrollers (MCUs) features hardware-assisted machine learning (ML) acceleration, which enables devices to learn and adapt to user behavior, making them more intelligent and intuitive to use. By leveraging this technology, end-products can provide a more seamless and natural user experience, effectively bridging the gap between humans and machines.

One of the key benefits of the PSOC™ Edge devices is their ability to add contextual awareness to various applications, allowing them to better understand and respond to their environment. This is particularly important in today's fast-paced, interconnected world, where devices are increasingly expected to be smart, responsive, and aware of their surroundings. By providing robust privacy and safety protection through embedded Edge Protect technologies, the PSOC™ Edge series ensures that sensitive user data remains secure and protected from potential threats.

From a technical standpoint, the PSOC™ Edge devices are built around high-performance Arm® Cortex®-M55 processors, which provide a powerful foundation for demanding applications. The inclusion of Helium DSP support, paired with Arm® Ethos-U55 and Cortex®-M33, enables efficient processing of complex tasks, while Infineon's ultra-low power NNLite neural network accelerator provides a significant boost to machine learning capabilities. This powerful combination of technologies makes the PSOC™ Edge devices ideal for a wide range of advanced IoT applications, including smart home devices, security systems, wearables, robotics, and more.

The "always-on" sensing and response capabilities of the PSOC™ Edge devices are particularly noteworthy, as they enable devices to continuously monitor their environment and respond to changes in real-time. This feature is especially useful in applications where rapid response times are critical, such as in security systems or industrial automation. Overall, the PSOC™ Edge series represents a significant step forward in the development of responsive, intelligent, and secure devices, and is poised to play a major role in shaping the future of the IoT.
