Weebit Nano Weebit ReRAM
Weebit ReRAM is a new embedded NVM designed to be the successor to flash for edge AI. Because a ReRAM cell is ~3-4x smaller than a typical SRAM cell, significantly more memory can be integrated on-chip to support larger neural networks for the same die size and cost. Weebit ReRAM scales well below 28nm, is non-volatile for fast memory access and is inherently secure.
Lattice Semiconductor Avant Architecture
Lattice Semiconductor’s new Avant architecture is purpose-built to extend the company’s focus on high power efficiency, small form factors, and performance to mid-range FPGAs. The company said the first family of FPGAs based on the new architecture, Avant-E, is designed for the purposes of real-time data processing and on-device AI inference, bringing twice the speed while expending 40% less power than existing chips for edge computing.
Ambarella Centralized 4D Imaging Radar Architecture
Edge AI (artificial intelligence) semiconductor company Ambarella Inc. has developed a centralized 4D imaging radar architecture which aims to improve the perception capabilities of autonomous driving systems. The technology enables central processing of raw radar data and low-level sensor fusion from other inputs, such as cameras, lidar and ultrasonics.
SiFive Performance P670 and P470 RISC-V Processors
The SiFive Performance P670 and P470 RISC-V processors bring unparalleled compute performance and efficiency to small, high-volume applications like wearables, smart home, industrial automation, AR/VR and other consumer devices. They deliver significant upgrade opportunities over legacy processors, offering impressive compute density, power efficiency and robust features to handle demanding workloads and bring significant cost savings to customers.
