Barcelona, Spain and Meylan, France, July 16, 2027.
INTERA-GROUP, a semiconductor innovation company specializing in neuromorphic ASIC architectures, and Dolphin Semiconductor, a leading provider of semiconductor IP solutions, today announced a strategic collaboration to deliver a joint reference platform combining INTERA’s Spiking Neural Network (SNN) processing architecture with Dolphin’s WhisperExtractor (aMFCC) analog feature-extraction IP.
The partnership addresses one of the most persistent challenges in edge AI: enabling continuous, intelligent sensing on devices where every microwatt of power budget is contested. By pairing event-driven neuromorphic inference with analog-domain feature extraction, the two companies aim to push always-on audio and sensor intelligence further down the power curve than digital-only architectures have previously allowed.
The joint reference platform is designed to give OEMs and system integrators a validated starting point for building always-on acoustic and sensor intelligence into space- and power-constrained products, without requiring in-house expertise in either spiking neural network development or analog front-end design.
The companies see immediate relevance across markets where always-on sensing and battery life are in direct tension, such as true wireless earbuds and hearables, hearing aids, smart glasses, smart home devices and edge IoT devices.
