The Ensemble family of microcontrollers and fusion processors have been architected to provide:

Unrivaled Battery Life

Longer product life on a smaller battery.

Alif’s unique power architecture includes aiPM technology, a system that autonomously powers on only what is needed when needed, to give you battery life previously unheard of.

Scalable Performance

Single to multi-core performance for any workload.

Our processors scale seamlessly from single core to multi-core, giving you the freedom to reuse the same software across a wide spectrum of products. Ample memory, power management, security, graphics, imaging, and AI/ML, are all on-die, allowing for a true single-chip IoT design.

Multilayered Security

Protection at every part of the device life cycle.

Strong security is fundamental for connected devices. Our solution protects the device, data, and your customers throughout the full product life cycle by providing a strong Root of Trust, a separate isolated secure subsystem, identity protection, cryptographic services for user data, over the air updates, and fine-grained run-time security settings—all with minimal application overhead.

HW Accelerated AI

At least 40X faster than conventional MCUs.

All products offer hardware AI Acceleration with one or more dedicated Ethos-U55 Neural Processing Units, so you don’t have to sacrifice power or performance for AI workloads.

Edge AI Model for Hardhat Detection on Alif Ensemble Microcontrollers

Using the Alif Ensemble E7 fusion processor, Edge Impulse has trained and deployed an AI/ML model that can detect whether or not workers are wearing a hardhat on a job site. Safety helmets are mandatory in many industries, such as construction and manufacturing, to protect workers from potential injuries. Failure to wear a safety helmet increases the risk of accidents in industrial environments. In the past, supervisors were responsible for ensuring that everyone wore a helmet. However, manual oversight is often costly and inaccurate due to human factors.

Chalk Talk on Alif’s 32-bit MCUs

Watch our Chalk Talk with EE Journal where we dive into our Ensemble family of microcontrollers. The Ensemble family of MCUs is the industry’s first 32-bit microcontroller that offers high-speed and efficient AI/ML for Vision, Voice, and Vibration use cases. While tinyML is limited to low-end Voice or Vibration use cases- and can’t handle Vision use cases, Alif MCUs fill the gap in the market with the ability to process large AI/ML workloads for all three V’s – without draining battery life and raising costs as seen with power hungry GPU devices.
