Artery Launches AT32F406/F408 Mainstream MCU Series for Smart Control and High-Speed Data

TAIPEI, Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Artery Technology recently launched its new AT32F406/F408 mainstream microcontroller (MCU) series. Powered by the Arm® Cortex®-M4F core with a clock speed of up to 216 MHz, the new series features large memory capacity, extensive communication interfaces, and high-speed analog peripherals. It is designed for a wide range of applications, including gaming keyboards, industrial automation, smart control, USB devices, IoT, and consumer electronics.

As smart devices demand greater real-time computing performance, faster data exchange, and higher system integration, the AT32F406/F408 series builds on the AT32F402/F405 series with enhanced computing, data transmission, and control capabilities. It provides robust performance for high-speed data acquisition, real-time control, and multi-interface applications, enabling developers to build more efficient and flexible embedded systems.

High-Performance Computing and Flexible Memory for Fast Response

The AT32F406/F408 series is based on the high-performance Arm® Cortex®-M4F core running at up to 216 MHz, with DSP instructions and a floating-point unit (FPU) for enhanced computational and real-time control performance. It integrates up to 512 KB Flash and 192 KB SRAM, along with 26 KB of Bootloader system memory that can be flexibly configured for user programs or data storage, maximizing available memory and resource utilization.

The series also integrates 4 KB OTP memory for permanent storage of critical data and parameters. A QSPI interface enables external Flash or RAM expansion, further extending system memory and functionality. In addition, sLib provides protection for designated program areas, creating a secure code execution region and enhancing overall code security.

Extensive Peripheral Resources for Enhanced System Integration

The AT32F406/F408 series integrates three 12-bit high-speed ADCs with sampling rates of up to 5.33 Msps and support for external expansion. It also provides eight SPI, three I2C, six USART, and two UART interfaces, together with multiple high-performance timers and high-speed GPIOs to support diverse peripheral connectivity and high-speed data transmission requirements.

In addition, nearly all GPIOs support 5 V-tolerant inputs, reducing hardware interface constraints and simplifying the integration of sensors and peripheral modules.

Two Series Options for Diverse Application Requirements

The AT32F406 and AT32F408 share the same core architecture and development environment, allowing developers to select the most suitable device for different product requirements while maintaining flexibility for future upgrades.

AT32F406 Series: Integrates three 12-bit high-speed ADCs with sampling rates of up to 5.33 Msps and support for external expansion. With a balance of control performance and cost efficiency, the series is well suited for mainstream embedded control, industrial automation, and IoT applications.

AT32F408 Series: Building on the AT32F406, the AT32F408 further integrates USB OTG HS with a dedicated 4 KB FIFO buffer. Without requiring an external USB High-Speed PHY, it delivers high-speed USB connectivity for gaming keyboards and game controllers, enabling lower latency and faster response. Its high-speed data transmission capabilities also make it well suited for industrial data loggers, measurement equipment, medical electronics, and high-speed USB devices.

Industrial-Grade Reliability and Comprehensive Development Ecosystem

The AT32F406/F408 series supports an industrial operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and is available in QFN48 (6 × 6 mm) and LQFP64 (7 × 7 mm) packages, providing flexible options for compact designs and diverse application requirements.

The AT32F406/F408 series is supported by Artery's comprehensive development ecosystem, including AT32 IDE, AT32 VSCode IDE Extension, AT32 Workbench, AT32 AI Studio, AT32 development boards, AT-Link debugging and programming tools, and comprehensive technical documentation. These resources provide developers with end-to-end support from product development and debugging to validation and mass production.

Looking ahead, Artery Technology will continue to expand its AT32 MCU portfolio, extending from mainstream control to high-performance Edge AI applications. With a broader range of MCU solutions, Artery aims to empower developers to create next-generation smart control products for emerging AI, IoT, and intelligent edge device applications.

The AT32F406/F408 series is now available for sample requests and mass production.

Artery Launches AT32F406/F408 Mainstream MCU Series for Smart Control and High-Speed Data

SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ – Reallusion announced the official release of AI Studio 1.1, a major architectural and feature update designed to transform how digital creators integrate generative AI into 3D-guided workflows. Moving beyond its original embedded execution within iClone and Character Creator, version 1.1 debuts as a fully standalone application featuring an independent workflow, an expanded AI model suite, and an upgraded dataset engine built for enhanced character consistency.

Find out more about the AI Studio 1.1 updates in this video.

Unbound from iClone & CC: Experience a Faster Standalone Workflow

Version 1.1 delivers complete operational flexibility across the production pipeline. Artists can now execute AI generation tasks independently without launching iClone or Character Creator, while preserving on-demand access to 3D guidance whenever advanced control is required. In addition, the update streamlines system administration with a centralized Account Settings interface, automated web preset deployment, and customizable asset download modes tailored to specific production archiving workflows.

• Dedicated Standalone Application: Accelerates production by executing independently of iClone and Character Creator, drastically reducing operational complexity.
• User Data Cloud Synchronization: Provides seamless cross-device access to personal presets, custom user data, and generation histories.
• Automated Version & Preset Deployment: Ensures continuous access to the latest application builds, AI models and presets without requiring manual patch installations.

New Models: 30-Sec Video with Seedance 2.5 & Budget-Friendly 2.0 Mini

AI Studio 1.1 expands creative control through extended video durations, higher rendering resolutions, and cost-efficient generation options. Beyond core video generation upgrades, this release introduces full 4K output support across Image Create, Image Edit, Video Create, and 3D to Video. Furthermore, moderated policy guidelines grant creators greater narrative freedom when productions involve certain NSFW contents, such as gunfights and intense verbal exchanges, without encountering generation blocks.

• Seedance 2.5 (30-Second Cinematic Video): Generates up to 30-second video sequences across multiple resolutions while preserving strict character and scene consistency across up to 50 reference inputs.
• Seedance 2.0 Mini: Introduces a cost-effective model tier priced at 50% of the standard Seedance 2.0 rate, optimized for rapid iteration and generation without unnecessary credit expenditure.
• Capture Any Frame: Allows creators to extract any video frame as a starting point or visual reference—ideal for modifying mid-video segments, editing specific scenes, or extending shot continuity.

Upgraded AI Actor Creator: Simplified Workflows & Higher-Quality Datasets

Achieving multi-scene character consistency is now faster and yields significantly higher visual fidelity. AI Studio 1.1 reorganizes character creation into streamlined operational tiers while upgrading core rendering capabilities under the hood. The character module also benefits from an optimized UI, a redesigned AI Actor Library browser, and improved multi-view rendering accuracy.
