Alif Semiconductor and onsemi Build an Extremely Efficient AI Camera System Reference Design using AI/ML
PLEASANTON, Calif., Nov. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Alif Semiconductor and onsemi, a leader in intelligent power and sensing technologies, collaborated to create a complete camera reference design to maximize performance and efficiency for low power applications using machine vision such as supplemental security cameras, biometric ID passage control, retail management, and smart eyewear.
- These issues are addressed by combining technologies from Alif using a highly integrated low-power MCU, and a compact low-power image sensor from onsemi.
- To further reduce power consumption, Alif's proprietary aiPMtechnology utilizes dual-processing regions within the MCU that uniquely accelerate machine learning.
- "We've incorporated onsemi's sensor onto our development kit making it quite simple for developers to build their own AI imaging products," said Mark Rootz, VP of Marketing at Alif Semiconductor.
- The ultra-miniature ARX3A0 sensor in this reference design is extremely low power, drawing less than 3.2 mW while active.
