Synaptics announced the SYN765x at Embedded World 2026 as the first AI-native connected MCU supporting Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, and 802.15.4. The SoC integrates a Cortex-M52 processor and Ethos-U55 NPU, allowing local AI processing for applications in smart appliances and industrial IoT.
It supports tri-band connectivity with a sustained throughput of 20 Mbps and 50 GOPS performance. The design reduces system complexity by integrating essential components onto the chip, decreasing bill of materials by 25%. Engineering samples are expected by April 2026, with full production targeted for Q4 2026.
