When it comes to developing products that support ambient IoT, the right semiconductor chip makes all the difference.
For product developers, the vision of IoT has always been to create a seamless integration of technology into everyday life—whether it’s smart home devices that effortlessly adjust lighting and temperature or industrial sensors that boost machine performance with minimal human input. But as IoT capabilities expand, so does the need for greater energy efficiency.
This demand has ushered in the era of ambient IoT: a world where devices operate intelligently, autonomously, and sustainably, powered by harvested energy. Achieving this vision demands advanced semiconductor solutions, and Telink Semiconductor stands at the forefront, driving innovation with its ultra-low-power IoT SoCs.
For industry experts, "ambient" technology embodies three fundamental characteristics:
1. Context Awareness: Devices operate with an understanding of their surroundings, leveraging sensor inputs, machine learning, and real-time data processing.
2. Cohesion: Technology integrates invisibly into workflows and environments, reducing user friction and manual intervention.
3. Autonomy: Systems act independently based on predefined parameters, often powered by AI and predictive analytics.
Already, these principles are shaping real-world applications across industries. For example, in smart cities, infrastructure equipped with ambient IoT adapts dynamically to optimize energy usage, regulate traffic, and enhance public safety creating urban ecosystems that respond to the needs of their inhabitants. Meanwhile, consumer devices like always-on assistants and wearables can provide personalized, context-aware interactions.
To support these innovations (as well as those yet to be explored), finding the right semiconductor chips matters. That’s where Telink comes in.
Bringing ambient IoT demands semiconductor solutions that combine energy efficiency, seamless connectivity, and intelligent processing. Here’s how Telink’s SoCs meet these challenges and more.
Telink’s TL721X chip stands out as a beacon of innovation in the realm of low-power IoT solutions. With a working current reduced to the 1mA level, this ultra-low-power multi-protocol IoT wireless SoC is ideal for battery-powered devices in ambient IoT settings. Imagine smart home sensors that monitor temperature and humidity, or security sensors for doors and windows, all operating for extended periods without the need for frequent battery changes. In a smart office, for instance, motion sensors equipped with TL721X can automatically adjust lighting and temperature based on occupancy, enhancing energy efficiency and comfort.
The TL751X chip, with its high performance, multi-protocol support, and high integration, is a powerhouse for demanding applications. Its integration of a HiFi-5 DSP provides robust computational capabilities, making it perfect for smart audio systems and voice assistants. In a home theater setup, TL751X can ensure high-quality audio synchronization across multiple speakers, delivering an immersive audio experience. For voice-controlled smart home systems, the chip’s ability to process complex voice commands and AI models locally means faster response times and enhanced user interaction.
Telink’s TL-EdgeAI platform, built on the foundation of TL721X and TL751X chips, brings the power of edge AI to ambient IoT. This platform supports mainstream local AI models, enabling devices to not only sense their environment but also make intelligent decisions. In the context of healthcare, wearable devices like smartwatches can use TL-EdgeAI to analyze health data such as heart rate and blood pressure in real time. If an anomaly is detected, the device can immediately alert the user, potentially saving lives. In industrial settings, the platform can predict equipment failures by analyzing sensor data, allowing for proactive maintenance and minimizing downtime.
The multi-protocol support of Telink’s SoC products ensures that a diverse array of devices can communicate and work together flawlessly. In a smart home ecosystem, devices ranging from smart bulbs to smart thermostats can be controlled through a single interface, thanks to the seamless connectivity provided by TL721X and TL751X. For example, simply saying “good morning” could automatically turn on the lights, start the coffee maker, and open the curtains as you wake up. In a smart office, the same technology can optimize the environment for productivity, adjusting lighting and temperature based on the time of day and room occupancy.
The low-latency characteristics of TL751X are crucial for applications requiring real-time interactions, such as smart gaming and virtual/augmented reality experiences. With the ability to support multi-device low-latency operations, gamers can enjoy a smooth and responsive gaming experience. In industrial IoT, low latency is equally important for real-time monitoring and control of machinery, ensuring that any potential issues are addressed promptly.
As smarter, more intuitive systems continue to transform the places we live, work, and play, SoCs will have an even larger role in realizing the full potential of ambient technology. Here are a few unique areas of opportunity:
These are just a few potential ways ambient IoT can revolutionize our day-to-day lives. With Telink’s best-in-class semiconductors, your development team can make products that set the standard for next-generation products.
The future of semiconductors lies in enabling technology that is everywhere yet invisible, pervasive yet unobtrusive. As we move into the ambient era, semiconductors will redefine what’s possible — powering systems that anticipate needs, enhance experiences and operate autonomously. For product developers and industry leaders, the question isn’t just “What does ambient mean?” but “How can we build it?”
