MediaTek has announced the launch of two new dedicated IoT chipsets under its Filogic-branded range. The SoCs, dubbed Filogic 130 and Filogic 130A, integrate a microprocessor, AI engine, power management unit, plus Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 subsystems into a single chip. Filogic 130A also comes with an audio digital signal processor to allow device makers to easily add voice assistants and other services into their IoT products.
Both chips support 1T1R Wi-Fi 6 connectivity and dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz, along with advanced Wi-Fi features such as target wake time (TWT), MU-MIMO, MU-OFDMA, quality of service (QoS) and WPA3 Wi-Fi security. They also come with an Arm Cortex-M33 microcontroller which is supported by embedded RAM and external flash and an integrated front-end module (iFEM) that supports low noise amplifier (LNA) and power amplifier (PA) functionality.
Finally, MediaTek said the Filogic 130A also has an integrated HiFi4 DSP for more accurate far-field voice processing, always-on microphone capability with voice activity detection and trigger word support. The chips support a variety of interfaces including general purpose IOs such as SPI, I2C, I2S, IR input, UART, AUXADC, PWM and GPIO interfaces to make the design process easier.
