Alif Semiconductor is revolutionizing the way developers create products using secure AI/ML-enabled 32-bit microcontrollers.

Learn More

Alif Semiconductor’s microcontrollers and fusion processors are architected to provide:

Unrivaled Battery Life

Longer product life on a smaller battery.

Alif’s unique power architecture includes aiPM technology, a system that autonomously powers on only what is needed when needed, to give you battery life previously unheard of.

Scalable Performance

Single to multi-core performance for any workload.

Our processors scale seamlessly from single core to multi-core, giving you the freedom to reuse the same software across a wide spectrum of products. Ample memory, power management, security, graphics, imaging, and AI/ML, are all on-die, allowing for a true single-chip IoT design.

Multilayered Security

Protection at every part of the device life cycle.

Strong security is fundamental for connected devices. Our solution protects the device, data, and your customers throughout the full product life cycle by providing a strong Root of Trust, a separate isolated secure subsystem, identity protection, cryptographic services for user data, over the air updates, and fine-grained run-time security settings—all with minimal application overhead.

HW Accelerated AI

At least 40X faster than conventional MCUs.

All products offer hardware AI Acceleration with one or more dedicated Ethos-U55 Neural Processing Units, so you don’t have to sacrifice power or performance for AI workloads.

Rethinking MCU Architectures for the AI Era

The era of the AI-capable MCUs is upon us. While traditional MCUs will always have their place, the increasing demand for on-device AI is reshaping the MCU market. To succeed, MCU manufacturers must seamlessly integrate neural processing units (NPUs) with traditional MCU features. This hybrid architecture significantly impacts product performance, power consumption, and development efficiency.

What MCU manufacturers can do to accelerate AI adoption

The year 2024 has seen a torrent of announcements about new large language model (LLM)-based artificial intelligence (AI) products from companies such as OpenAI and Google. In consumer and computing endpoints such as smartphones and personal computers, AI has not just joined the mainstream: arguably it is the mainstream. So it is striking that embedded device manufacturers have not yet widely adopted AI or machine learning (ML) in endpoint devices. There are multiple reasons for this, not least the constraints on compute resource and power consumption in traditional microcontrollers, applications processors and systems-on-chip (SoCs).
