Amlogic’s high-performance, low-power and cost-efficient A113X system-on-chip (SoC) provides neural network-based AI far-field voice support so consumers can seamlessly interact with Google Assistant.
With its power-efficient design the A113X optimizes the clock’s power consumption, while providing an incredible user experience. The highly integrated design helps brands to further speed up time to market, in addition to reducing the bill of materials costs.
Amlogic has been approved by Google as a trusted system integrator (SI) for Linux-based Google Assistant SoC solutions. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and device makers can take advantage of the pre-certified A113X platform to reduce development time and quickly bring Google Assistant-enabled devices to market.
The A113X integrates a powerful 64-bit quad-core Arm Cortex-A53 processor. It runs complicated far-field voice algorithms including acoustic front end (AFE) and wake word engine (WWE) algorithms and significantly reduces the total BoM cost by eliminating external DSP components. The A113X also has an internal audio loopback circuit for acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) algorithms to simplify PCB design and further reduce BoM cost.
It supports 8-channel pulse density modulated (PDM) dual/stereo digital microphone interfaces (DMICs), along with 8-channel (4+4) I2S and 32-channel time-division multiplexed (TDM) interfaces. It also comes with DDR3/3L/4 memory interfaces. Amlogic’s robust software development kit (SDK) includes the Linux kernel, BSP, Cast OS, latest GVA Lib with Multiple Room (MR), Cast Readiness Test (CRT) and Assistant Readiness Test (ART) pre-certified.
