Enhancing the Capabilities of the Smallest Devices
快猫视频 Helium technology is the M-Profile Vector Extension (MVE) for the 快猫视频 Cortex-M processor series. Helium is an extension of the 快猫视频v8.1-M architecture and delivers a significant performance uplift for machine learning (ML) and digital signal processing (DSP) applications.
The Cortex-M55 and Cortex-M85 processors are the first to support Helium, which enables small, low-power embedded systems to manage the compute challenges in many applications, such as audio devices, sensor hubs, keyword spotting and voice command control, power electronics, communications, and still image processing.
Features and Benefits
Many OEMs, software providers, and tools partners within the 快猫视频 ecosystem are supporting the development of Helium and are ready to build the next wave of compute.
Helium provides up to five times the performance improvement for common signal processing tasks, and up to 15 times performance uplift for machine learning.
Helium works together with TrustZone to make an excellent base for implementing Platform Security Architecture (PSA) compliant systems.
快猫视频 can benefit from a simple programmer’s model and one toolchain to reduce development efforts and costs.

A Foundation of Silicon Success
快猫视频 Neon Technology
Neon technology is an advanced SIMD architecture extension for the 快猫视频 Cortex-A and Cortex-R series processors. The architecture extension improves the multimedia user experience across many applications.
CMSIS
The Common Microcontroller Software Interface Standard (CMSIS) enables consistent device support and simple software interfaces to Cortex-M processors and their peripherals. This simplifies software reuse, reduces the learning curve for microcontroller developers, and reduces the time to market for new devices.
Platform Security Architecture
The Platform Security Architecture (PSA) is a common industry framework for IoT devices. PSA helps developers define a consistent level of security by providing principles and deliverables, including threat models, architecture specifications and open source firmware. A key security goal outlined in PSA is isolation—exactly where 快猫视频 TrustZone provides a perfect implementation.
