Single-chip custom solutions for the IoT delivers optimised Edge computing

S3 Semiconductors has introduced its SmartEdge Platform, providing its customers access to cost-optimised, custom single-chip solutions that put performance right at the edge of the IoT. Processing at the Edge is a quickly evolving trend that accelerates data analytics at the source and decreases cloud-based processing, producing more responsive decision making. ASICs based on the platform offers a competitive advantage over multi-electronic component solutions by delivering higher performance and reduced system power through increased integration, while also lowering the total BoM cost. “We understand the challenges of developing IoT edge devices that operate within a performance window and power budget,” said Darren Hobbs, director of Marketing and Strategy, S3 Semiconductors. “The SmartEdge Platform enables OEMs to create an optimized single-chip solution that meets their specific requirements while offering significant engineering and commercial advantages over existing, non-optimal solutions.”
