Leveraging Ecosystem Partnerships
Today we issued a press release announcing a reference design that we developed in partnership with Nordic Semiconductor. Nordic specializes in developing ultra-low power devices that enable wireless communications for long periods of time using small power sources. Does their ultra-low power message sound familiar? It should, as it’s the same message we’ve been […]
Can You Hear Me Now?
During Q1, I discussed our first significant engagement for a hearable device, and during Q2, I announced that we won that and other hearable designs that are currently scheduled for production during Q4 2017. I am pleased to state we have seen a substantial increase in hearable engagements during the last four weeks. To keep […]
Win, win, win, and win
This past week, I was invited to participate in a panel discussion at the MindMotion Developer Conference in Shenzhen, China. Other participants included several semiconductor industry veterans and luminaries, one of whom was the very well respected “father of MCUs in China”, Mr. George Zhou. The discussion that followed reinforced what we have been promoting […]

Machine Voice Recognition Becomes More Human
In a typical day, we each probably have dozens (and sometimes many dozens) of conversations. Part of the natural art of conversation is our ability to speak and listen to a single individual, even when there is background noise such as music playing or other conversations in progress. We instinctively focus our attention on the […]
It’s Good to Be Understood – The Always Listening Home
The dream of having a truly “smart” home has finally started to materialize in a meaningful way. One aspect of the smart home concept which has been severely underestimated until very recently, though, is the emergence of voice-activated systems and their ability to make sense of spoken commands and requests from humans. Speech is a primary […]
Knowledge is (Reduced) Power…
Back in the good old days of semiconductors (meaning more than one to two decades ago), following Moore’s Law down the process geometry curve gave digital semiconductor companies not only increased logic density, but also lower operating voltages. Five volt supply requirements became 3.3 volts, then 2.5 volts and then 1.8 volts and so on. […]
The Voice…
With apologies to Blake Shelton and Christina Aguilera fans, we’re not going to be discussing the latest results from the singing contest reality TV show. Instead we’re going to talk about the rise of speaking as a convenient and practical way for us to interact with our mobile electronics. Perhaps the best-known examples today are […]
