description: >-
  Alif Semiconductor is a fabless semiconductor company headquartered in Pleasanton,
  California with engineering operations in Grenoble, France. It designs secure,
  AI/ML-enabled 32-bit microcontrollers and fusion processors for edge computing,
  built around Arm Cortex-M55 cores and dedicated Arm Ethos-U55 Neural Processing
  Units. Its Ensemble (E1C, E1, E3, E4, E5, E6, E7, E8) and Balletto (B1) product
  families target battery-powered edge AI and generative-AI workloads, pairing
  hardware AI acceleration with autonomous aiPM power management and a multilayered
  hardware Root of Trust security subsystem. Alif ships an embedded developer surface
  rather than a public web API: a Zephyr-based SDK, CMSIS Device Family Packs,
  VS Code project templates, the Conductor configuration tool, evaluation kits,
  datasheets, and reference manuals published across its support hub and GitHub
  organization. Added to the API Evangelist network as a portfolio company of
  Lightspeed Venture Partners and Mayfield.
