Ensemble™ Family
Overview
Fusion processors & microcontrollers for high-performance embedded processing
Single to quad-core processing, AI acceleration, high-speed connectivity, graphics, imaging, and much more
Ensemble Family devices are a scalable and compatible continuum of highly integrated embedded processors. Architected for power efficiency and long battery life, these devices deliver high computation and ML/AI capability, high-speed connectivity including Ethernet and SDIO, multi-layered security, computer vision, and rich graphical user interfaces.
Individual device selections in the family scale up starting from single-core MCUs, to dual-core MCUs, advancing to triple-core and quad-core fusion processors to match specific applications. Across all devices is a common fabric of features and technology making it easy to re-use software and hardware over varied projects.
Typical Applications
AI and ML Acceleration
Alif's scalable platform family is built on the latest generation embedded processing technology that scales from single Arm® Cortex®-M55 microcontrollers (MCUs) to a new class of multi-core devices, fusion processors, that blend up to two Cortex-M55 MCU cores, up to two Cortex-A32 microprocessors (MPU) cores capable of running high-level operating systems, and up to two Arm Ethos™-U55 microNPUs for AI/ML acceleration.
Image Classification, for 1 inference, M-55 + U-55 is:
- 800x faster than previous gen Cortex-M
- 78x faster than M-55 alone (8 vs 624 msec)
- 76x less energy than M-55 alone (3 vs 228 mJ)
