Maxim Integrated's MAXREFDES178# camera cube reference design serves Artificial intelligence (AI) applications that previously were limited to those with the resources and deep pockets. The camera cube puts AI Vision in space- and cost-constrained applications like battery-powered edge devices, giving ultra-low-power IoT solutions hearing and vision. Highlighting the MAX78000 low-power microcontroller with neural network accelerator for audio and video, it also has the MAX32666 ultra-low power Bluetooth microcontroller and two MAX9867 audio CODECs. Provided in a compact form factor for AI applications such as facial identification and keyword recognition, the camera can also be used in low-power, cost-sensitive products like wearables.
he MAXREFDES178# camera cube enables time- and safety-critical applications to operate on even small batteries, using up to 1,000x less power for vision and hearing applications, compared to other embedded solutions. AI inferences running on the MAXREFDES178# show significant latency improvements, over 100x faster than on embedded microcontrollers. The 1.6in x 1.7in x 1.5in (41mm x 44mm x 39mm) solution is claimed to be up to 50% smaller than the next-smallest GPU-based processor, and doesn't require memories or complex power supplies.
