“The combination of Infineon’s high-performance microphones and XMOS’ VocalFusion processors has allowed us to develop very compelling far-field voice capture solutions that, until now, have been difficult to deliver,” said Mark Lippett, President and CEO of XMOS.
Infineon’s microphones provide low self-noise (69dB SNR), microphone to microphone phase and sensitivity matching as well as fast signal conversion for low latency, ensuring supposedly excellent hit rate and extended voice pick-up distance for far-field applications.
“The combination of XMOS processing power, algorithm know how and Infineon’s microphone hardware is a perfect fit for a far-field voice user interface solution for applications using multiple microphones,” commented Dr. Roland Helm, Head of Sensor Business unit at Infineon. “With that, we can meet the expectations of ambitious end users.”
Last month, Infineon Technologies announced a strategic investment in XMOS, with the target to bring solutions for enhanced human machine interaction to the next level. Addressing the voice interface market is the first step of the partnership which will focus on making the communication between humans and smart devices as seamless as possible in future.
