Event Details
Cortex-M55 is Arm’s most AI-capable Cortex-M processor and the first to feature Arm Helium technology.
It delivers the highest, most efficient ML and DSP performance for Cortex-M and also has inbuilt TrustZone security feature.
It simplifies AI implementation for IoT with the ease-of-use of Cortex-M, a single toolchain, optimized software libraries, and an industry-leading embedded ecosystem.
In this webinar you are about to be exposed to the Cortex-M55 architecture, capabilities and what makes it unique versus previous Cortex-M processors.
If you plan to enable classical ML and NN inference locally on your devices plus have security as well, then this webinar is suited for you.

Event Details
Sensorization is enabling increasingly smart devices that span mass-market consumer products to niche medical equipment and everything in between. MEMS technology is at the center of this groundswell, presenting new revenue opportunities to companies of all sizes.
As companies seek to surpass performance and manufacturing limits of 1990s-era capacitive MEMS devices, a new generation of commercial MEMS devices that use piezoelectric thin films is emerging. The global piezoelectric MEMS market is forecast to hit USD 1.9B by 2031, exhibiting a 10-year CAGR of 24%*.
The benefits of piezoelectric thin films, particularly lead zirconate titanate (PZT), is the new foundation for high-growth MEMS products like micro speakers and microphones, gas sensors, image stabilizers, and ultrasonic transducers.
As a MEMS product development firm that has been advancing technology to market for two decades, AMFitzgerald is opening new paths for commercialization of PZT MEMS in alliance with Japanese foundry service MEMS Infinity. Together, AMFitzgerald and MEMS Infinity offer an integrated design-to-production service that expedites the commercialization of thin-film PZT MEMS chips. This complete solution for PZT MEMS combines design-for-manufacturing with production-proven processes from day one to fast-track customers to market.
Participants in this webinar will learn:
• What’s driving the adoption of PZT MEMS
• Why access to PZT MEMS manufacturing is especially important for early-stage development and low- to medium-level production.
• How North American companies can now access the highest-quality PZT thin films by engaging with an experienced product development firm and a top MEMS foundry

This presentation will cover the latest design of SwiftMote-Electrochemical, a wireless potentiostat.
We plan on covering its position in the FABrIC program, what SwiftMote-Electrochemical v2 is, how you can make use of it, and most importantly, we are interested in obtaining your feedback – does the system have the features you need? Would you like it manufactured? What direction would you like to take the program in? Are there other systems you are interested in FABrIC developing to support your research?
