Alif Semiconductor is bridging the gap between standard microcontrollers and high-end GPU solutions by providing scalable, integrated, and secure microprocessors and microcontrollers for low-power machine learning (ML) tasks. Its products offer 250 giga operations per second (GOPS) performance while reducing power consumption and imprint time by 50X compared to microcontrollers on the low end, making them ideal for many low-power ML applications like wearables, hearables, security systems, and biometric ID retail. To design these complex SoCs, Alif is using Cadence’s state-of-the-art EDA tools, such as the Cadence digital full flow, and Arm’s Cortex and Ethos processors.
