It combines support for real-time intelligence with integrated Wi-Fi 7, aiming at battery-powered smart IoT devices, home automation systems, and Industrial IoT (IIoT).
As well as the Wi-Fi 7, it integrates Bluetooth LE 6.0, and Thread/Zigbee across 2.4, 5 and 6GHz bands. And there’s dedicated on-chip acceleration. This supports predefined control and signal-processing functions to help reduce host processor load, within latency and power requirements.
Note, the chip supports flexible deployment models. It can operate as a co-processor alongside a host application processor or MCU. Or it can function in standalone and host-less configurations.
Applications
Applications include advanced wireless sensing, including presence detection, motion tracking, and proximity awareness. For Wi-Fi sensing, highlights Synaptics, it combines Channel State Information (CSI) extraction with on-device machine learning.
Its Bluetooth Channel Sounding also enables power-efficient distance measurements, under typical operating conditions. This is to offer a possible alternative to technologies such as mmWave radar or ultra-wideband.

Wireless
“Intelligence at the Edge demands uncompromising wireless performance,” said Vikram Gupta, SVP & GM of the Edge Compute & Connectivity Division at Synaptics.
“SYN765x extends our leadership in wireless technology by integrating Wi-Fi 7, BLE, Thread/Zigbee with AI-native processing. This simplifies system design, lowers power and cost barriers, and accelerates adoption of next-generation wireless across consumer, industrial, and enterprise IoT markets.”
Synaptics SYN765x will begin production in Q4 of 2026. Development kits are expected to be available for sampling in calendar Q2 2026.
