Upbeat Technology’s RISC-V MCU Takes Flight With Near-Threshold Computing

allaboutcircuits.com, Oct. 20, 2025 – 

Developed with SiFive, the dual-core SoC uses patented error correction to achieve a record 16.8 µW/MHz/DMIPS, targeting next-gen wearables, drones, and IoT sensors.

In a move aimed at the growing market for intelligent edge devices, Upbeat Technology announced today its new UP201/UP301 family of microcontrollers (MCUs). Developed in collaboration with SiFive, the new SoC integrates a dual-core RISC-V architecture with custom AI accelerators and advanced power-saving features.

In advance of Upbeat’s technology presentation at the RISC-V Summit, All About Circuits spoke with Upbeat Technology President and CEO, Jerry Chen.
