- Home Entertainment
- Smart Buildings
- Residential and Commercial Security
- Inference Engines for Industrial and Commercial
Raspberry Pi with Adapter
IA8201 Processor Board
Mic-Array Board
AISonic™ Audio Edge Processor IA8201 is a high-performance, ultra-low power audio-centric Open DSP supporting up to 4 mics, multiple high speed interfaces and GPIOs in two package options.
Open DSP
This Knowles partner program brings world-class algorithm and cloud contributors to an ecosystem where a multitude of solutions solve complex audio problems.
Highly Optimized Advanced Instruction Set
The DSP SDK (Software Development Kit) with Knowles and Xtensa HiFi 3 instruction sets enable extensive audio capabilities for voice and audio processing, voice user interface and ambient sound processing.
Multi-core Audio Processing
Two Tensilica-based, audio-centric DSP cores; one for high power compute and ML, the other for very low power always-on processing of sensor inputs.
USE CASE EXAMPLES
Low Power Voice Wake: Listens for specific OEM keywords to wake the host processor. Large memory enables processing of multiple stages on-chip for accurate results.
Proximity Detection: When combined with an ultrasonic capable speaker and microphone, detects the distance between the system and an object; can replace an IR-Prox sensor in bezel-less phones.
Hub: Determines location of voice source while tuning out a noisy environment and lowering music to detect voice commands. Simultaneously takes metadata input and overrides beamformer to focus on camera-tracked objects.
Security System: Activates with a voice command. Detects glass breakage/smoke-alarm, logs direction of noise source, triggers alarm and sends alerts through WiFi connection.
