Lynx SAI50 (MLSoC Modalix)
SoM built around an MLSoC dedicated to edge-AI inference, for efficient low-power AI.
Overview
Lynx SAI50 (MLSoC Modalix) is a module in the Enclustra Lynx family, built around an MLSoC dedicated to edge AI inference. Unlike a general-purpose FPGA, its architecture is optimised for machine learning inference, delivering high inference throughput at low power.
Industrial temperature grade is available alongside commercial, so it can be deployed outdoors or in vehicles.
Positive ONE Group supports Lynx SAI50 (MLSoC Modalix) end to end — from selection advice and arranging an evaluation opportunity through to supply and long-term care once you reach volume production. We work in English and Japanese.
MLSoC configuration
Lynx SAI50 is an edge-AI module built around the SiMa.ai Modalix MLSoC. Rather than an FPGA, it carries a heterogeneous SoC optimised for AI inference. Its main components are as follows.
The software stack centres on SiMa.ai ONE Platform, Palette and ONNX, covering CNNs as well as transformers, LLMs, LMMs and generative AI. OS support is officially marked Coming soon, so please confirm details individually.

Frequently asked questions
Can I buy a single Lynx SAI50 (MLSoC Modalix)?
This product is in development or at Early Access stage. We confirm the availability of evaluation units and samples, timing and quantity conditions with the manufacturer before replying. Volume terms follow once the supply start date is fixed.
Is a Linux and software development environment provided for Lynx SAI50?
Lynx SAI50 is at Early Access stage and its software environment is being built out around SiMa.ai ONE Platform, Palette and ONNX. The timing and scope of OS support may change, so we confirm the latest position before advising. Note that the product carries a SiMa.ai Modalix MLSoC rather than an FPGA, so the build environment differs from FPGA toolchains.
Can I choose the temperature grade of Lynx SAI50 (MLSoC Modalix)?
Commercial and industrial grades are available. Choose the industrial grade for demanding thermal environments such as outdoor or in-vehicle installations. Ask us about the exact range supported by each part number.
Is design data available for mounting Lynx SAI50 (MLSoC Modalix) on a board?
User manuals, schematics, 3D models (STEP), PCB footprints and pinout tables are provided. Footprints are also available for common PCB design tools.
What is the price and lead time for Lynx SAI50 (MLSoC Modalix)?
Pricing for Lynx SAI50 (MLSoC Modalix) depends on configuration, quantity, temperature grade and any customisation, so we quote individually. Tell us your application and quantity in the form on this page and our engineers will confirm the specification and come back with a quotation and lead time.
