Quick Takeaways
- POLYN Technology is debuting a live, silicon-validated neuromorphic voice detection chip at CES 2026, demonstrating ultra-low-power, always-on speech detection.
- The NeuroVoice VAD highlights how analog neuromorphic processing can unlock fast, energy-efficient voice interfaces for automotive and other intelligent systems.
On December 17, POLYN Technology confirmed it will showcase a live demonstration of its NeuroVoice VAD chip at CES 2026, marking the first real-world deployment of its silicon-validated Neuromorphic Analog Signal Processing platform. The demonstration highlights how neuromorphic analog design can enable efficient, always-on voice detection for next-generation intelligent devices.
The showcased NeuroVoice VAD chip is POLYN’s first implementation based on its NASP architecture and is designed specifically for continuous voice monitoring with extremely low energy demand. The chip operates at microwatt-level power consumption while delivering response times measured in microseconds, making it well suited for battery-powered and always-listening systems.
POLYN NeuroVoice VAD Chip Enables Always-On Voice Detection
Unlike conventional digital signal processors, the POLYN NeuroVoice VAD chip performs neural network inference directly within the analog domain. This approach significantly reduces power draw and latency while maintaining accurate speech activity detection. Reliable detection of human voice remains a critical requirement for voice-enabled devices operating in standby or low-power modes.
Neuromorphic Analog Processing for Automotive and Beyond
POLYN plans to use CES 2026 to outline its broader NASP product roadmap, with applications extending beyond consumer electronics. Target use cases include automotive systems, critical communication devices, and other environments where low latency and ultra-low power operation are essential.
In automotive applications, neuromorphic analog voice detection can support hands-free control, in-cabin monitoring, and safety-related voice interfaces. The ability to deliver fast and reliable detection at minimal power levels positions NASP-based solutions as a strong alternative to traditional digital processing approaches in demanding operating conditions.
With the live CES demonstration, POLYN aims to validate the commercial readiness of its neuromorphic technology while signaling future expansion across multiple high-reliability markets.
