PSOC™ Edge: Next-Gen Machine-Learning MCUs

Infineon's sensing, low power, secured, and advanced HMI high-performance microcontroller family

PSOC™ Edge is designed for next generation responsive compute and control applications, featuring hardware-assisted machine learning (ML) acceleration. PSOC™ Edge provides hardware accelerated neural net compute support, delivering both "always-on" low power and high-performance operation, in a fully integrated microcontroller with right-sized peripherals, on-chip memories and state-of-the-art security.

The PSOC™ Edge devices are based on high performance Arm® Cortex®-M55, including Helium™ DSP support, paired with Arm® Ethos™-U55 and Cortex-M33 paired Infineon’s ultra-low power NNLite neural network accelerator for Machine Learning and AI applications.

The enhanced intelligence of the PSOC™ Edge series adds support for advanced graphics, audio- and vision-based applications to the extensive set of human interface modes (touch, graphics, voice) available in earlier generation PSOC™ devices. The new series enables easy migration of applications within the family, as well as an upgrade path for earlier generation designs. The PSOC Edge E8x devices are supported by Infineon’s ecosystem of Edge AI software, including ModusToolbox™ software, Zephyr® OS, and the DEEPCRAFT™ AI Suite.
