Ambiq Announces Apollo510B Energy-Efficient Wireless SoC

Ambiq Micro announced the expansion of the Apollo5 family with the Apollo510B wireless System-on-Chip (SoC). The Apollo5 family is a cutting-edge line of ultra-low-power, AI-focused microcontrollers and system-on-chip (SoC) solutions designed for next-generation always-on, smart devices such as hearables, supporting high-fidelity audio. Integrating a dedicated 48MHz network processor and Bluetooth Low Energy 5.4 radio, the Apollo510B will enable robust wireless connectivity for any power-constrained edge AI applications.

Microchip announced the 32-bit SAM L10/L11 MCU families for low power and high security, based on the Arm Cortex-M23 core, with the SAM L11 featuring Arm TrustZone for Armv8-M, a programmable environment that provides hardware isolation between certified libraries, IP and application code. The SAM L11 features robust security with chip-level tamper resistance, secure boot and secure key storage. When combined with TrustZone technology, this is designed to protect applications from both remote and physical attacks.
