The AZ-N1, says the company, is the industry's first fully integrated AI SoC featuring a highly power efficient artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) processor - the Axon I - for audio, voice, health monitoring, and sensors. The chip also integrates a low-power CODEC supporting up to four microphones, battery charger, DC/DC regulators, and Bluetooth connectivity.
The AZ-N1 AI SoC, says the company, can handle the most challenging tasks required to process audio, sound, biometrics, and other sensor signals, and classify activities in a fraction of the power budget used by comparable solutions on the market today.
"Atlazo's mission is to enable smart tiny edge devices with a new level of always-on AI capabilities and analytics in an SoC form to unleash new features and applications," says Dr. Karim Arabi, co-founder and CEO of Atlazo, Inc. "We provide comprehensive support to our customers from system design to algorithm development enabling them to add new features to expand their addressable market."
