Updated sensAI Solutions Stack Delivers Highly
Accurate, Low Power AI Solutions for Industrial, Automotive,
Compute, and Consumer Applications
Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC), the low power
programmable leader, today announced the availability of
performance enhancements and new and improved application reference
designs for its award-winning sensAI™ solutions stack. Lattice
sensAI helps OEMs develop AI and ML experiences for next-generation
smart devices with power consumption measured in milliwatts. The
performance enhancements include support for more compact/efficient
neural network models, as well as deeper quantization support to
accommodate larger models for processing higher resolution and/or
faster frames-per-second images in vision applications, delivering
more accurate Edge AI performance. The reference designs let
Lattice sensAI customers quickly and easily create popular AI
experiences, including new enhanced key phrase detection and human
face recognition.
“MCUs struggle to deliver the performance needed for Edge AI
applications while still maintaining strict power budgets. But
thanks to their small size, support for parallel processing and
sensor-agnostic AI inferencing, Lattice FPGAs are a compelling
platform for any number of Edge AI applications requiring low power
operation,” said Hussein Osman, Market Segment Manager, Lattice
Semiconductor. “Running our enhanced sensAI solutions stack on
Lattice’s iCE40 UltraPlus and ECP5 FPGAs makes it easier than ever
to add high performance Edge AI applications to new and existing
product designs.”
The latest enhancements to the Lattice sensAI solution stack
include:
- sensAI on the iCE40 UltraPlus™ FPGA now supports 8-bit
quantization, which allows customers to double their neural network
model’s size for more accurate AI performance
- sensAI on the ECP5™ FPGA now supports the MobileNet and ResNet
neural network models, which can process higher resolution images
to deliver more accurate AI performance with no increase in power
consumption
- New application reference designs for fast implementation of
additional Edge AI applications, including:
- Enhanced key phrase detection for AI/ML-enabled human machine
interface applications using microphones. This reference design
provides the ability for customers to retrain the neural network
model to recognize new key words or phrases as needed
- Enhanced human face recognition, which, in addition to
detecting a human face, can now identify specific registered users.
New registered users can be added to the face recognition
application without retraining the device’s entire neural network,
providing significant savings to both system design time and
cost
- Enhancements to existing presence detection and object counting
reference designs that deliver more accurate AI performance at low
power for applications like:
- Wake-on approach for printers and laptops
- Defect detection and operator compliance in industrial smart
cameras
