  • Enable support of cloud-based solution
  • Scalability - ease integration of Third-party voice processing algorithms

Low Power Wake Word Wait State

  • Running Only on Cortex-M core (Cortex-A Domain Suspended) with 2-mic Beamforming
  • Average Power 60 mW @ SOC level (8MPlus)
  • Additional Power ~6 mW for External DDR, 1 mW per DMIC

Full Voice Processing Mode

  • Upon Wake Word trigger event, wake up the Cortex-A domain for Wake Word confirmation
  • Pump 4-mic channels to Cortex-A for Advanced Voice Processing (Further Wake Word and Voice Commands detection with 4-mic beamforming)
  • Average Power 700 mW @ SOC level (8MPlus, the measurements are specific to the software version and configuration and may vary based on the configuration)
