CELUS and Alif Semiconductor Partner to Accelerate Edge AI and IoT Development

CELUS, developer of the leading AI-assisted electronics design platform used by developers and engineers globally, announced today that Alif Semiconductor®, a leading global supplier of secure, connected, and power-efficient Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) microcontrollers (MCUs), has made its high-performance product portfolio available on the CELUS Design Platform.

The partnership provides the global engineering community with immediate access to Alif Semiconductor’s Ensemble® Series of microcontrollers and fusion processors within the CELUS AI-driven design environment. By bringing these hardware solutions into the CELUS ecosystem, engineers can evaluate AI-ready silicon in application context and move from requirements toward architecture and schematic development more efficiently.

“Integrating Alif Semiconductor’s cutting-edge AI/ML microcontrollers into our platform is a significant milestone for our ecosystem,” said Rob Telson, Vice President of Global Sales at CELUS. “This collaboration helps engineers evaluate hardware-accelerated AI options earlier in the design process, moving from complex requirements toward structured architectures and schematic development with greater clarity and speed.”

Why This Partnership Matters for the Engineering Community and Component Manufacturers

The availability of Alif Semiconductor products on the CELUS Design Platform offers three transformative benefits:

• Accelerated Edge AI Development: Engineers can leverage Alif’s Ensemble series, which features the industry’s first hardware-accelerated transformer network support for microcontrollers. By using CELUS’ AI-assisted design environment, developers can translate complex technical requirements into structured architectures, component options, and design content that support faster exploration of battery-powered AI devices.
• Enhanced Design Accuracy and Power Efficiency: Alif’s autonomous intelligent power management (aiPM™) technology ensures unrivaled battery life for IoT designs. CELUS CUBO™ content can provide structured implementation context for these components, helping engineers evaluate interfaces, specifications, and application fit when balancing power, performance, and system requirements.
• Scalable Application Context for Manufacturers: For component manufacturers like Alif, the CELUS platform provides a scalable way to present component knowledge in the context of real engineering workflows.
