嵌入式世界，纽伦堡，德国– 27 February 2018 –S3 Semiconductors, announced today the introduction of its SmartEdgeTMPlatform, giving its customers access to cost-optimized, custom single-chip solutions that put performance right at the edge of the IoT. Processing at the Edge is a rapidly evolving trend that accelerates data analytics at the source and reduces cloud-based processing, delivering more responsive decision making.
基于SmartEdge平台的ASIC通过提高集成度，提供更高的性能和更低的系统功耗，同时降低BoM总成本，从而在多电子元件解决方案中具有竞争优势。
根据最近的行业报告，物联网中超过一半的数据使用现在由自主设备在边缘进行处理。这些设备通常需要敏感的传感器afe（模拟前端）连接到数据转换器，微控制器运行复杂的嵌入式软件，具有安全性和某种形式的有线或无线通信接口。将所有这些功能结合在一起，通常需要本地校准和低延迟实时控制，这是一个重大的设计和集成挑战。
The SmartEdge Platform provides a uniquely cost-effective way to integrate sensing, calibrating, controlling and communication functions into a single ASIC. This level of integration delivers higher overall performance, particularly when moving between the analog and digital domains, while also bringing down the system power budget. For autonomous edge devices expected to operate for many years from a single battery, a SmartEdge solution will provide significant benefits.
“We understand the challenges of developing IoT edge devices that operate within a performance window and power budget,” said Darren Hobbs, Director of Marketing and Strategy, S3 Semiconductors. “The SmartEdge Platform enables OEMs to create an optimized single-chip solution that meets their specific requirements while offering significant engineering and commercial advantages over existing, non-optimal solutions.”
TheSmartEdge平台brings together all of S3 Semiconductor’s expertise in creating custom ASICs, drawing on its portfolio of proven IP. It is offered with full design support and access to the industry-leading technology that makes S3 Semiconductors a leader in custom ASIC design and manufacture.
