Tiny AI Chip mimics like adding brain to the sensor

Israel-based fabless semiconductor chip design start-up POLYN Technology launched its new Neuromorphic Analog Signal Processor (NASP) chip which works more like how a human brain process the data using neural networks. This tiny AI chip combines both analog computations and digital/logical computations. This chip can be directly interfaced with sensors, particularly in health monitoring wearable applications. Aleksandr Timofeev, CEO and founder of POLYN Technology, who is experienced in running mutliple start-ups said “This achievement validates the intensive work of our multinational team,” . “Our chip represents the most advanced technology bridging analog computations and the digital core. It is designed with neuroscience in mind, replicating pre-processing the primary cortical area of the human brain makes at the periphery before learning at the center” The release of the company states "The NASP chip enables full data processing disaggregation between the sensor node and the cloud; it truly embodies the Tiny AI concept." This chip is made using older 55 nm CMOS semiconductor fabrication technology, which is easily 10 years old technology, and is lot cheaper compared to today's cutting-edge 3 nm. To design this chip, POLYN Technology has used internally developed VLSI design automation tools. Company says successful development of this product proves efficient ...
