Synaptics Astra® SL2610 Embedded Processors
Synaptics Astra® SL2610 Embedded Processors are highly integrated AI-Native Linux® and Android™ System-on-Chip (SoCs) optimized for multimodal consumer, enterprise, and industrial IoT applications. These processors integrate a high-performance compute subsystem with Arm® Cortex®-A55 and Cortex®-M52 with Helium™ cores. The SL2610 processors feature transformer-capable NPUs with up to one TOPS of inference and 3D GPUs with OpenGL® and Vulkan® support. These processors deliver a unified experience through standards-based approaches, open software frameworks, full-featured AI toolkits, and market-ready evaluation systems. Typical applications include smart home appliances, wearables, smart retail, robotics, charging infrastructure, and industrial systems.
The SL2610 product line includes the SL2611, SL2613, SL2615, SL2617 and the SL2619 series. The SoC helps build a robust device edge, shielded from sophisticated software, side-channel, and physical attacks. These processors' architecture allows dynamic support for new operators, future-proofing Edge AI IoT system design. The SL2610 processors offer the Torq™ Edge AI platform, featuring the Torq T1 NPU and the implementation of the RISC-V-based Coral NPU Machine Learning (ML) core.
