New embedded IoT processor suited to consumer and industrial applications

Mouser Electronics, Inc. now stocks the new SL1680 embedded IoT processor from Synaptics. The device is the newest in a series of highly integrated, AI-native Android and Linux embedded SoC processors optimised for multimodal enterprise, consumer, and industrial IoT applications.

The processor includes high-performance compute engines, as well as a quad-core Arm Cortex-A73 64-bit CPU subsystem, a multi-TOPS NPU, a high-efficiency, feature-rich GPU for advanced graphics and AI acceleration, and multimedia accelerators for 4K video encode/decode ISP and audio.

The Synaptics SL1680 is part of the family of Synaptics Astra SoCs, including the SL1640 and SL1620, also available from Mouser, which deliver a unified, standards-based, open software framework, full-featured AI toolkits, and Synaptics' best-in-class wireless connectivity.

The company also stocks the Synaptics SL1680-EVK evaluation kit, part of the Astra Machina Foundation Series of evaluation-ready kits. The SL1680-EVK allows easy and rapid prototyping for the SL1680 multimodal embedded processors with a modular design that includes swappable core compute modules, a common I/O board, and daughter cards for connectivity, debugging, and flexible I/O options.
