Microchip Technology has announced a 32bit 200MHz version of its dsPIC33 series of DSP-heavy MCUs. dsPIC33A, as the family will be called, is aimed at fast closed-loop control of PSUs and motors. As with earlier dsPIC processors, the parts remain a combination of CPU and maths accelerator (‘DSP engine’), rather than a pure DSP architecture. In this fifth generation, the ...
The third generation of general-purpose neural processing units (GPNPUs) by Quadric introduces pre-integrated clusters of two, four or eight cores to deliver up to 108 TOPS. This latest iteration has increased performance and optimisations for generative AI. the company has also introduced a safety enhanced version for automotive applications. The company described the Chimera QC series as NPUs with a ...
Ceva has filled-out its NeuPro-M family of neural processing units, and boosted its architecture for generative AI algorithms. “NeuPro-M NPU architecture and tools have been redesigned to support transformer networks in addition to convolutional neural networks,” according to the company. “This enables applications leveraging the capabilities of generative and classic AI to be developed and run on the NeuPro-M NPU.” ...
Analog Devices has released some details of a 10GHz bandwidth analogue front-end, possibly to be revealed in full at IMS in San Diego this week. The 16nm CMOS device is said to have four 12bit 20Gsample/s ADCs and four 16bit 28Gsample/s DACs – and seems like a faster cousin of the 28nm AD9081 released a few years ago – if ...
In a second announcement in one day at Embedded World In Nuremberg, TI revealed Arm Cortex-A72-based microcontrollers for AI and vision processing with up to 12 cameras, for building, industrial and retail automation. AM62A3 and AM62A7 (and their ..-Q1 automotive cousins) support one to two cameras (up to 5Mpixel, streaming up to 4K30frame/s) at less than 2W for doorbell cameras ...
Cadence has unveiled intellectual property for two DSP, aimed at asics for radar, lidar and communications processing. Called ConnX 110 and ConnX 120, the blocks share the instruction set of the existing ConnX B10 and B20 DSPs. The 110 version offers 128bit SIMD for math operations based on 8, 16 and 32bit fixed-point and half-, standard- and double-precision floating-point. The ...
Analog Devices has introduced a evaluation kit for people-counting using one of its DSPs. In a case and designed to be attached to a ceiling looking straight down, the kit includes a camera and everything needed to get the counted data to the cloud. Its main ingredients are a particular DSP from its Blackfin range, the ADSPBF707BBCZ4-EGE, and a people counting ...
Cadence is aiming at high-end and always-on applications with DSP intellectual property for embedded vision and AI. There are two cores: Vision Q8 for multi-camera automotive and mobile markets 1,024bit SIMD and 3.8Top/s 2x performance and memory bandwidth compared with the Vision Q7 Vision P1 for always-on and smart sensor consumer applications, as well as AR and VR glasses. 128bit ...
The inverse chirp z-transform (ICZT) can be used with chirp contours that perform partial or multiple revolutions on the unit circle, according to engineers at Iowa State University. Last year, Iowa State engineers Alexander Stoytchev and Vladimir Sukhoy created a closed-form solution for the ICZT, which generalises the inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) off the unit circle in the complex ...
Ceva’s BX DSP cores and Whispro speech recognition software for conversational AI now also support Tensorflow Lite for microcontrollers, a framework for deploying tiny machine learning on processors in edge devices. Tiny machine learning allows AI to operate in low power, battery operated IoT devices for sensor data analytics of audio, voice, image and motion. Ceva says its approach to ...
