Ineda’s SoCs features either two or three processor cores. One core is designed for Always-on sensing and consumes very little power. The other core/cores is/are designed for performing complex tasks such as running the display, responding to speech commands, playing music, network connectivity etc.
These full-featured SoCs offer performance equal to the Application Microprocessor but come at a price of single CPU Microcontroller.
Ineda’s SoCs are designed to deliver optimum performance and power for a given application task. Ineda’s high-end SoCs integrate up to three CPUs which can operate completely independent, or can share tasks to achieve highest throughput at industry-leading low power consumption levels.
To take full advantage of this flexible and powerful architecture, Ineda delivers a first-in-class software development kit (SDK), which consists of low-level drivers, RTOS/OS, middleware, communication and network stacks, and a number of software utilities/services. In the end, the software has been architected to provide a simple application framework in order to deliver ease-of-development and real application deployment.
The I3 series is designed for low to mid range wearable and IoT applications that require more performance than that of a traditional microcontroller but consume less power. Based on the patented Hierarchical computing and I/O virtualization technology, the power consumption of I3 Series is approximate 1/10th of the traditional MCUs in the active mode.
The I7 series is designed for high-end wearable and IOT applications. It has three high performance cores that can be power-gated based on application requirements. The smallest of its three cores can perform tasks such as monitoring motion sensors to look for gestures, maintaining a Bluetooth connection to another device, and recognizing a key spoken phrase that wakes up a device. The chip’s second core powers up alongside the first core to perform the complex tasks such as playing music, recognizing a handful of voice commands, or running a simple app such as a heart-rate tracker. The third core is used to perform more complex tasks, such as full speech recognition, that require accessing data over the Internet.
