Lattice Semiconductor has launched the latest version of its comprehensive solution stack for AI processing on Edge devices, Lattice sensAI 3.0.

The latest version of the stack includes support for the CrossLink-NX family of FPGAs for low-power smart vision applications and features a custom Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) IP, a flexible accelerator IP that simplifies the implementation of common CNN networks and is optimised to further exploit the parallel processing capabilities of FPGAs.

With the addition of support for CrossLink-NX FPGAs, Lattice sensAI brings new levels of power and performance to smart vision applications in thesurveillance/security, robotics, automotive and computing markets.

To address security, latency and data privacy issues, developers want to move the AI processing that powers their smart vision and other AI applicationsfrom the cloud to the Edge.

Most Edge devices are battery-powered or otherwise power-sensitive, so developers need hardware and software solutions that provide the processing capabilities needed for AI applications while keeping power consumption as low as possible.

By enhancing the sensAI stack, Lattice expands the range of power and performance options available to customers. For applications such as smart vision that require higher Edge AI performance, CrossLink-NX FPGAs with sensAI software offer twice the performance at half the power compared to previous versions.

Features

New and updated functionalities of the sensAI solution stack include:

  • New CNN engine IP and compiler support for CrossLink-NX
  • Object counting demo based on CrossLink-NX
  • FPGA architecture optimised for CrossLink-NX
  • Up to 75% lower energy consumption
  • High-performance I/O: Many components (image sensors, application processors, etc.) used in smart vision systems require support for the MIPI I/O standard.
  • Enhanced support for neural network architecture
Comments

"With theoptimisation of our new CrossLink-NX family of low-power FPGAs, the latest version of our sensAI stack from Lattice offers a compelling combination of performance and power consumption," said Hussein Osman, Market Segment Manager, Lattice Semiconductor. "Lattice builds on the success we've had so far with sensAI by continuously improving the stack's capabilities and ease of use for customers by releasing new implementation-ready application demos and reference designs for popular AI applications."
