Infineon releases new generation PSOC ™  Edge product portfolio provides powerful AI capabilities for IoT, consumer, and industrial applications

Infineon Technologies Inc. (FSE code: IFX/OTC QX code: IFNNY) releases a new PSOC ™ Detailed information on the Edge microcontroller (MCU) series, which has been optimized for machine learning (ML) applications. Newly launched PSOC ™ The three series E81, E83, and E84 of Edge MCU have scalability and compatibility in terms of performance, functionality, and memory options. They are all equipped with comprehensive system design tools and software, allowing developers to quickly transform concepts into products and bring new Internet of Things (IoT), consumer, and industrial applications that support machine learning to the market.
Steve Tateosian, Senior Vice President of Industrial MCU, IoT, Wireless, and Computing Business at Infineon Technologies, stated, "The next generation of IoT edge devices requires continued performance improvement without affecting power consumption. Infineon's innovative PSOC ™ The Edge E8 series semiconductor products not only utilize machine learning capabilities to achieve real-time responsive AI, but also balance performance and power requirements, and provide embedded security for connected home devices, wearable devices, and industrial applications. As a leading MCU provider, we are committed to providing solutions for expanding the functionality of future IoT systems

Infineon's brand new PSOC ™ Edge E81, E83, and E84 MCUs are based on high-performance Arm ® Cortex ®- M55 kernel, supports Arm ® Helium ™ DSP instruction set combined with Arm ® Ethos ™- U55 neural network processor, as well as Cortex ®- The M33 core is paired with Infineon's ultra-low power NNLite, a proprietary hardware accelerator used to accelerate neural networks. In addition, all three series support a rich set of peripherals, on-chip memory, powerful hardware security features, and various options for connecting peripherals, including built-in PHY USB HS/FS, CAN bus, Ethernet, and support for WiFi ® 6. BT/BLE connection and Matter protocol, etc. PSOC ™ Edge E81 adopts Arm ® Helium ™ DSP technology and Infineon NNLite neural network (NN) accelerator. PSOC ™ Edge E83 and E84 have built-in Arm ® Ethos ™- U55 micro NPU processor, compatible with existing Cortex ®- Compared to the M system, its machine learning performance has been improved by 480 times, and they support Infineon NNlite neural network accelerators, suitable for machine learning applications in the field of low-power computing.

PSOC ™ The target applications of the Edge E8x series include human-machine interfaces (HMI) in home appliances and industrial devices, smart homes and security systems, robots, and wearable devices. These three series all support activation and control through voice/audio sensing, with the E83 and E84 MCUs providing enhanced features for advanced HMI implementation, including machine learning wake-up, visual position detection, and face/object recognition. PSOC ™ The Edge E84 series also adds low-power graphics display (up to 1028x768) on top of its rich feature set.

Empowerment system design

PSOC ™ The Edge E8 MCU provides designers with a complete range of system and software compatible products. Its hardware design support includes evaluation substrates with Arduino extension interfaces, sensor kits, BLE connections for configuration, and Wi Fi for smartphone and cloud connectivity.
