Katana Low Power Edge AI

Intelligence for
Battery-powered Edge Sensors

Ultra-Low Power AI SoC

Synaptics’ processing platforms bring intelligence to the edge by enabling energy-efficient AI endpoint solutions that can make autonomous decisions from data collected by vision and audio sensing. It provides ultra-low power per inference in a flexible, easy to use AI platform. Our highly integrated edge AI SoCs are designed for battery powered wireless devices equipped with audio or camera capabilities for consumer and industrial IoT applications.

Optimized for a wide range of ultra-low power AI use cases, our processors are used in edge devices for office buildings, retail, factories, warehouses, robotics, farms and smart homes, and cities. They scale across a wide range of energy constrained IoT applications, and are particularly well-suited for retrofitting, use in remote locations, outdoors and for infrastructure level deployment.

Features & Benefits

  • IoT Connectivity
    Synaptics’ Wi-Fi and Bluetooth ultra low-power connectivity solutions are the most robust in the industry. Their interoperability in IoT products have been proven over many years and millions of product deployments.
