Always-On Intelligent Sensing with the Spiking Neural Processor

Over the last 5 years, the number of devices equipped with sensors has grown exponentially reaching 4 billion per year. In battery-powered devices such as phones, smartwatches, wireless earphones, & video doorbells, energy-efficient processing of the complex, continuous data coming out of multiple sensors is a critical problem. Innatera is a trailblazing semiconductor spin-off of the TU Delft & is bringing to the market neural processors. Our Spiking Neural Processor (SNP) is inspired by the way neurons function in our brain using a neural network with an inherent notion of time. At the sensor edge, SNP can deliver always-on pattern recognition functionalities in power & latency-sensitive applications via an innovative programmable architecture. It enables application-specific customers to implement immediately ready-to-use high-performance pattern recognition. SNP delivers market-leading differentiation with faster time-to-market & reduced development effort.
