SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Cadence Design
Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) today announced that Fortemedia, Inc.
has licensed the Cadence® Tensilica® Fusion F1 DSP as the engine of
their next-generation smart microphone processor to support
always-on voice trigger and sensor fusion capabilities for voice
wake-up in mobile, internet of things (IoT) and consumer
applications.
By configuring the Fusion F1 DSP to efficiently support voice
processing and context-aware sensor fusion, Fortemedia's latest
solution will enable features such as automatic screen shutoff and
ringer volume boost while devices are carried in pockets or purses,
automatic reading of messages upon entering a car, and
ultra-low-power voice triggering.
"The integration of Tensilica's Fusion F1 DSP into our latest
generation SAM101 DSP enables us to offer an extremely low-power
solution with improved sensor fusion and voice triggering functions
for always-on applications in the consumer market," said
Joseph Chen, vice president,
advanced hardware architecture at Fortemedia. "Cadence's broad
software partner ecosystem supporting the Tensilica Fusion F1 DSP
provides our customers with an easy way to add additional
capabilities."
"The Fusion F1 DSP enables even lower energy for the always-on
features in mobile and other consumer devices and will extend
Fortemedia's advantage over microcontroller based designs," said
Larry Przywara, group director of
audio/voice DSP marketing at Cadence. "With the integration of the
Tensilica Fusion F1 DSP in their latest smart microphone processor,
Fortemedia can now deliver a leading-edge solution to enhance user
experiences and speech
communication."
The Tensilica Fusion F1 DSP offers low energy, high performance
control and signal processing for a broad segment of IoT/wearable
markets. This highly configurable architecture is specifically
designed to excel at always-on processing—including wake-on-voice
and sensor fusion applications—that require a merged controller
plus DSP, ultra-low energy and a small footprint. It can be
designed into SoCs for wearable activity monitoring, indoor
navigation, context-aware sensor fusion, face trigger, voice
trigger and voice recognition.
