Semiconductors ARM Cortex NPU NXP semiconductor SoCNXP i.MX 93 family of applications processors’ system on chip (SoC) architecture integrates one or two Arm Cortex-A55 cores, one Arm Cortex-M33 core and an Arm Ethos-U65 Neural Processing Unit (NPU). Processing units boost power efficiency and performance capabilities compared to previous generation counterparts. The Cortex-M33 provides added security with Arm’s TrustZone technology. Firm’s energy flex architecture helps product family achieve high power efficiency and performance.
Device also integrates firm’s EdgeLock secure enclave – a self-managing, state-of-the-art security solution – including an enhanced-security sub-system that provides robust and autonomous management of critical security functions, such as root of trust (RoT), run-time attestation (RTT), trust provisioning (TP), secure boot, key management, and cryptographic services, at the same time simplifying the path to industry-standard security certifications.
