Chip technology company Syntiant Corp. in Irvine has added a second-generation artificial intelligence processor to its lineup for audio and sensor applications in battery-powered devices, as the firm aims for a “significant amount” of revenue this year.
Syntiant’s low-power chips respond to voice and speech and can wake up a device or have it perform a specific function.
The new NDP120 deep learning processor introduced this week performs functions for battery devices that most people would expect from devices plugged into a regular wall socket, chief executive Kurt Busch told the Business Journal.
“We had millions of dollars in revenue last year and we’ll have a significant amount this year,” Busch said.
