Addressing the need for enhanced functionality in edge computing, Synaptics’ Astra SR80 series empowers immersive audio applications, while the Astra SRW1500 series enables richer, more personalized intelligence generated and securely managed on-device.
The Astra SR80 series supports multimodal sensor fusion, continuous context awareness, and intelligent processing across power states, with a programmable Arm Cortex-M33 core, an audio codec, high-speed USB and SDIO, and a collection of audio interfaces. Dedicated NPU and DSP acceleration allow for natural and responsive voice-first human-machine interaction, with turnkey support for advanced algorithms such as AI-based noise reduction.
The Astra SR80 series works as front ends for agentic AI headsets, enterprise conferencing systems, soundbars, earbuds, augmented-reality devices, and other audio-centric applications. Together with the AI-native Astra SR100 series for vision processing at the edge, Synaptics’ portfolio of solutions provides high-quality, low-power, streaming vision and audio.
In this video, John Weil, VP & GM for the IoT and Edge AI Processor Business at Synaptics, explains some live demonstrations of the solutions.
