Alif Semiconductor Ensemble® Microcontroller & Processor Family

Alif Semiconductor Ensemble® Microcontroller and Processor Family creates a scalable and compatible continuum of integrated embedded processor devices for low-end to high-end intelligent IoT end-point applications. This new generation family scales from single Arm® Cortex®-M55 Microcontrollers (MCU) to multi-core fusion processors. The multi-core devices combine two Cortex-M55 MCU cores, up to two Cortex-A32 Microprocessors (MPU), and up to two Arm Ethos™-U55. The ensemble family uses Autonomous Intelligent Power Management (aiPM™) technology to extend battery life. This ensemble family integrates full secure element functionality, such as root-of-trust, dedicated protected memory, and a dedicated security processor.

The E1 series devices are MCUs with one Arm Cortex-M55 core. These devices can operate with an RTOS while using only the on-chip memory resources. The E1 devices support wired interfaces, including USB, SDIO, CANFD, I3C, and I2C. These devices are used in lighting control, smart homes, and industrial sense/control applications.

The E3 series devices are MCUs with two Arm Cortex-M55 real-time cores and one real-time core. ML and AI tasks are accelerated by dual Arm Ethos-U55 neural processing units generating 250 GigaOPS. The E3 devices support wired interfaces, including Ethernet, USB, SDIO, CANFD, I3C, and I2C. These devices are ideal for barcode scanners, failure prediction, and portable healthcare applications.

The E5 series devices are embedded fusion processors with one Arm Cortex-A32 application core, two Arm Cortex-M55 Real-Time cores, and one real-time core. These devices can operate with an RTOS, LinuxOS, or both while using only the on-chip memory resources. The E5 devices support many wired interfaces, including Ethernet, USB, SDIO, CANFD, I3C, and I2C. These devices are used in appliances, robotics, and graphical control panels.

The E7 series devices are embedded fusion processors with two Arm Cortex-A32 application cores, two Arm Cortex-M55 real-time cores, and one real-time core. ML and AI tasks are accelerated by dual Arm Ethos-U55 neural processing units generating 250 GigaOPS. The E7 devices support many wired interfaces, including Ethernet, USB, SDIO, CANFD, I3C, and I2C. These devices are used in building automation, EV recharging stations, and point-of-sale systems.
