Product Line Overview

    The new Synaptics Astra SL2610 product line delivers exceptional performance and power efficiency for multimodal compute across IoT devices ranging from smart home appliances, wearables, and smart retail, to robotics, charging infrastructure, and industrial systems. With five pin compatible processor families, it is built for a wide range of AI-native compute solutions from battery-powered and passively cooled devices to high-performance industrial vision systems.

    Experience the groundbreaking Synaptics Torq™ Edge AI platform – with the transformer – and CNN capable Torq T1 NPU together with the industry’s first production implementation of the Coral NPU from Google. This integrated architecture allows for dynamic support of new operators, future-proofing Edge AI IoT system design. Torq advances true AI developer freedom by means of a disruptive, an end-to-end compiler and runtime based on the open-source IREE/MLIR projects, supporting both standard and emerging model formats such as LiteRT, PyTorch, ONNX and JAX.

    Built on a high-efficiency architecture powered by Arm® Cortex®-A55, Cortex-M52, and the Mali™ 3D GPU, the SL2610 processors advance the state of silicon, device, and system-level security, with features ranging from immutable root of trust to application crypto processing – making it well-positioned to address a fast-evolving threat landscape at the IoT AI device edge.
