Next-generation ultra-low-power Edge AI\u00a0SoC for always-on intelligence<\/p>\n
EMASS, a Nanoveu subsidiary with next-generation semiconductor technology, today announced that its next-generation ECS-DoT SoC built on a 16nm process node has entered the final phases of development, headed toward graphic data system (GDS) sign-off, tape-out and fabrication at TSMC. This new device builds on EMASS\u2019s existing 22nm ECS-DoT offering and strengthens the company\u2019s leadership in ultra-low-power Edge AI by extending always-on intelligence into more demanding and highly integrated applications.<\/p>\n
The new 16nm ECS-DoT builds on the 22nm\u2019s performance, energy consumption, compute capability and on-chip resources, while preserving the architectural concepts, developer workflow and ultra-low-power mission that define the ECS-DoT family. It continues to advance edge technology by integrating an on-chip Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) subsystem, expanding on-chip SRAM with a new power management system and AI and processing acceleration enhancements.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the 16nm ECS-DoT, we reach a defining moment for EMASS as we scale our architecture into new classes of applications demanding more intelligence, more speed and even lower power,\u201d said Mark Goranson, CEO of EMASS. \u201cBy migrating to 16nm, we\u2019ve unlocked all new use-cases and identities that allow customers to push machine learning to the absolute edge, without sacrificing battery life or form-factor constraints.\u201d<\/p>\n
Enabling the Next Stage of Edge Intelligence<\/p>\n
The 16nm ECS-DoT advances EMASS\u2019s edge AI capabilities through higher integration, expanded on-chip resources and improved power efficiency, enabling more capable always-on intelligence without increasing system complexity or energy demand. Key enhancements include:<\/p>\n
Fully integrated BLE subsystem\u00a0\u2014 Eliminates the need for external wireless ICs, reducing board area, bill-of-materials cost and design complexity.<\/p>\n
Expanded on-chip memory\u00a0\u2014 Supports larger AI models and higher-throughput workloads while minimizing off-chip memory access for improved efficiency.<\/p>\n
Adaptive fine-grained power-management architecture\u00a0\u2014 Optimizes energy use for always-on, battery-powered and energy-harvesting applications.<\/p>\n
Dedicated object-detection accelerator\u00a0\u2014 Offloads vision workloads to increase throughput and reduce inference latency for edge vision use cases.<\/p>\n
Integrated floating-point unit (FP16\/FP32)\u00a0\u2014 Accelerates DSP and mixed-precision AI workflows while simplifying developer toolchains and code migration.<\/p>\n
Seamless Upgrade Path for Developers<\/p>\n
The new SoC maintains complete software and workflow compatibility with the current ECS-DoT family. This allows developers to deploy applications on either the 22nm or 16nm version with minimal redesign, while supporting larger and more demanding workloads without compromising ultra-low-power operation.<\/p>\n
Strengthening EMASS\u2019s \u201cAtoms-to-Apps\u201d Vision<\/p>\n
The 16nm ECS-DoT also advances EMASS\u2019s \u201cAtoms-to-Apps\u201d methodology, connecting application requirements, algorithm design, silicon architecture and real-world deployment into a unified development philosophy.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis next generation of ECS-DoT represents a significant architectural advance for EMASS, bringing together always-on intelligence, deeper on-chip resources and higher levels of integration within a single ultra-low-power Edge AI platform,\u201d said Dr. Mohamed Sabry, founder and CTO of EMASS. \u201cBy extending our architecture to support more demanding workloads without sacrificing energy efficiency, we are strengthening EMASS\u2019s leadership in ultra-low-power Edge AI and expanding what\u2019s possible at the edge for our partners and customers.\u201d<\/p>\n
