San Jose, CA, March 10, 2026 – Synaptics® Incorporated (Nasdaq: SYNA) today announced the SYN765x, an AI-native wireless solution that redefines Edge intelligence. As an industry-leading single-chip device combining AI-optimized compute with integrated Wi-Fi® 7, the SYN765x is designed to bring scalable, real- time intelligence directly to smart appliances, home automation systems, and Industrial IoT (IIoT) applications.
SYN765x integrates Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth® LE 6.0, and Thread/Zigbee across 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz bands. Dedicated on-chip acceleration supports predefined AI-native control and signal-processing functions, reducing host processor load, while meeting strict latency and power requirements.
Built for high-performance wireless connectivity, the SYN765x pairs essential compute as a convenient, on-chip companion for smart devices at the Edge. Its single-chip integration significantly reduces system space requirements, simplifies design, and offers both engineering flexibility and cost savings.
By bringing advanced Wi-Fi 7 capabilities to low-power designs, SYN765x helps enable lower latency, seamless band switching, fast and secure reconnections, and access to the interference-free 6 GHz spectrum. Until now, power and cost constraints have limited adoption of the latest Wi-Fi standards in embedded systems. This solution meaningfully reduces these barriers, accelerating next-generation Wi-Fi adoption across Edge IoT devices.
The SYN765x also enables advanced wireless sensing, including presence detection, motion tracking, and proximity awareness using standard Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signals. For Wi-Fi sensing, it combines high-accuracy Channel State Information (CSI) extraction with on-device machine learning. This differentiated architecture is designed to deliver high accuracy and reliability, supporting a broader range of sensing use cases compared to other connectivity solutions in its class.
In addition, Bluetooth Channel Sounding enables accurate, power-efficient distance measurements under typical operating conditions — offering an alternative to more expensive technologies such as mmWave radar or ultra-wideband. Integrated logic, DSP, and NPU resources provide a high-performance platform for embedded Edge AI workloads, while AI-driven contextual awareness enhances power efficiency.
The SYN765x supports flexible deployment models. It can operate as a co-processor alongside a host application processor or MCU, or function in standalone and host-less configurations thanks to its generous on-chip memory and processing resources. By eliminating the need for a separate microcontroller in many designs, the SYN765x significantly reduces system complexity and cost—offering a new class of high-performance, battery-powered IoT devices.
“Intelligence at the Edge demands uncompromising wireless performance,” said Vikram Gupta, SVP & GM, Edge Compute & Connectivity Division, Synaptics. “SYN765x extends our leadership in wireless technology by integrating Wi-Fi® 7, BLE, Thread/Zigbee with AI-native processing. This simplifies system design, lowers power and cost barriers, and accelerates adoption of next-generation wireless across consumer, industrial, and enterprise IoT markets.”
