“We’re thrilled with our partnership with Dialog Semiconductor and proud to offer an end-to-end edge AI solution for integration in super low power wearables and consumer devices”
In benchmarks, AONVoice™ processors deliver best-in-class recognition in real-world ambient noise conditions of up to 90% accuracy in 0 dB SNR conditions. Including front-end processing and all required memory, AONVoice™ processor consumes less than 150µW proven in 40nm ULP silicon. This power is measured in 100% constant speech conditions.
“Our technology evaluation of AONDevices’ low power voice and sound recognition IP was very positive. By adding artificial intelligence to our advanced wireless communication ICs, it offers the potential for voice activity and hotword detection at the edge in headsets, remote controls and other applications where performance, high noise-resilience and battery lifetime are crucial,” said Arend van der Weijden, Vice President Wireless, Audio and Voice BU at Dialog Semiconductor.
