Synaptics launched the Astra SR200 Series, which it bills as the first of a new class of microcontrollers (xMCU) that run multimodal Edge AI entirely on-device. The family spans three pin-compatible lines scaling from 200 to 400 GOPS, pairing Arm Cortex-M85 and M52 cores with the Torq AI engine built on Google Research's Coral NPU, plus integrated custom DRAM scaling to hundreds of megabytes.
