The Balletto family is a complete AI\/ML microcontroller solution for connected IoT platforms with integrated Bluetooth Low Energy 5.3 and 802.15.4 wireless subsystem and a dedicated network co-processor, enabling connectivity without the need for a separate chip. Employing the same architecture as the Ensemble family, Balletto utilizes the Cortex-M55 CPU plus the Ethos-U55 neural processor for amazingly efficient Edge ML processing.<\/p>\n\r\n \r\n

\r\n The World\u2019s Most Power-Efficient and Advanced BLE Microcontroller <\/h2>\r\n \r\n

\r\n The category-defining Alif Balletto family brings together advanced local neural and vector processing with an exceptionally low-power BLE wireless subsystem, plus extensive on-die memory density. Combined, these processors deliver a record-setting 50x boost in machine learning performance and inference efficiency versus MCUs with no neural processors. This opens a new frontier for battery-powered EdgeML applications. Balletto also provides iron-clad security, multiprotocol connectivity, an extreme level of hardware integration in a minimal footprint, and amazing flexibility for application software. <\/p>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n
