New ML-Focused Hardware With NPU: NuMicro M55M1
The NuMicro M55M1 series microcontroller is targeted at machine learning applications, aided by its Ethos-U55 NPU (Neural Processing Unit) and on-device AI features suitable for embedded applications. This MCU lets the system watch for events – based on image sensor, microphone, and sensors – while in low-power mode, without waking up the central processor. The M55M1 MCU includes an ML model protection mechanism that enhances security by safeguarding ML intellectual property against potential malicious hacking attempts. These are some of the first processors to support Arm Helium technology, which provides a significant performance boost for machine learning (ML) and digital signal processing (DSP) applications in small, low-power embedded systems.
Edge IIoT Gateway Solution: NuMicro MA35D1
The MA35D1 series is a heterogeneous multi-core microprocessor for high-end Edge IIoT Gateway, based on a dual-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A35 core at 800 MHz and a 180 MHz Arm Cortex-M4. These high-performance cores facilitate Tiny AI/ML edge computing.
The Versatile M467, With IoT Applications and Great Connectivity
The M467 series is a 32-bit microcontroller based on the Arm Cortex-M4F core with a built-in DSP instruction set and single precision floating point unit (FPU). It is ideal for a wide range of applications: smart home appliances, IoT gateways, industrial control, telecommunications, and data centers.
