GreenWaves will use the funding to ramp up the production of its GAP9 processor which is
enjoying significant market traction with tier one hearables vendors. GAP9 allows them to bring
to market new-to-world audio features such as Neural Network based Noise Filtering and
Adaptive Transparency. GAP9 is also being designed into battery powered IoT products such as
smart cameras, condition monitoring sensors and vital sign monitoring devices.

Additionally, the funding will support the development of GreenWaves’ next generation processor
to further enrich the features, and extend the battery life and programmability of the next
generation of earbuds and to enable new automotive applications.

“We are delighted about the rate of customers adoption of GAP9, with a dozen design wins in
hearables and IoT. Hearables is on its way to surpass smartphones in innovation and volume”,
said Loic Lietar, CEO of GreenWaves Technologies. “In IoT applications we serve the most
demanding low power smart camera use cases, where GAP9 shines”.

GAP9 provides the ideal platform for companies requiring a combination of neural network, classic
and ultra-low latency Digital Signal Processing capabilities in highly energy constrained products.
GAP9 enables these applications while remaining highly flexible and easy to program. GAP9 delivers the lowest energy consumption across all of the tests in the MLPerf™ Tiny v1.0 inference
benchmark.
