NXP’s new i.MX 93W fuses edge compute and secure wireless connectivity
NXP Semiconductors has announced the i.MX 93W applications processor, expanding NXP’s i.MX 93 family. Purpose-built to accelerate physical AI deployment, the i.MX 93W SoC is the industry’s first applications processor to combine a dedicated AI neural processing unit (NPU) with secure tri-radio wireless connectivity. This high degree of integration allows customers to replace up to 60 discrete components with a single package. Pre-certified reference designs eliminate many common integration challenges, reducing the complexity, cost and risk traditionally associated with RF design. Supported by NXP’s software and industry-leading eIQ AI enablement solutions, the i.MX 93W also supports smaller form factors and is designed to accelerate time-to-market for physical AI applications.
ST’s sensor and secure wireless technologies support Snapdragon Wear Elite
ST now supports leading-edge motion-sensing and secure wireless technologies on Qualcomm Technologies’ newly launched personal AI platform, Snapdragon Wear Elite. ST components help unlock always on sensing, unprecedented power efficiency, and breakthrough user experiences for the next generation of truly personal, responsive wearable computing devices, enabling advanced use cases like activity recognition and health and lifestyle monitoring.
