In hard real-time systems, deadlines aren’t suggestions, they draw the line between working and failing. Every task must finish exactly when it should; even a tiny slip can ripple through and throw everything else off balance.

I recently spent some time with Synaptics’ new CEO, Rahul Patel. It was at the company’s Tech Day event held in its San Jose headquarters. Rahul arrived at Synaptics after spending more than a decade at both Qualcomm and Broadcom, so he is no stranger to the semiconductor space. And that’s a good thing, because he joined at a time when the company was already in the midst of a transformation, attempting to become a major player in the Edge AI semiconductor space.

Today’s modern and continuously evolving connected devices and environments, such as smart homes, industrial, wearables, and other IoT applications, require solutions that are compact, power-efficient, and provide constant and reliable wireless connectivity. These solutions benefit from simplified designs that accelerate development time, promote low latency, and provide secure connectivity on a single platform.

Behind the scenes in a modern PC or server lies a critical sideband communication channel—the System Management Bus (SMBus)—keeping major system components such as the CPU, memory, batteries and power supply running smoothly. It monitors temperature, voltage and current, and controls power delivery across the system, helping each component operate at peak efficiency.

While the drive to adopt AI tends to focus on semiconductor shortages and algorithm optimization, the larger constraint is the power infrastructure. According to a recent Deloitte survey of 120 US-based power company and data center executives, 72% identify power and cooling limitations as significant barriers to AI data center growth over the next three to five years.

Edge AI is a key enabler for the IoT, offering significant market opportunity for intelligent devices, both in the industrial and consumer spaces. Before we dive deeper into this, let’s level set and define two terms that often mean different things to different people, namely Edge AI and intelligent devices.

In the fast-evolving world of software-defined vehicles (SDVs), cybersecurity has become as critical as performance and safety. The latest SOAFEE Blueprint from VicOne, developed as part of the SOAFEE community, introduces a new model for in-vehicle defense that moves intelligence from the cloud to the edge, powered by adaptive AI.
