NDP200
Neural Decision Processor
Always-on Vision Sensor & Speech Processor
The Syntiant® NDP200 Neural Decision Processor™ is a special-purpose chip for image and sensor processing for always-on applications in battery powered devices and other power constrained systems. The NDP200 applies neural processing to run multiple applications simultaneously with minimal battery power consumption. Built using the Syntiant Core 2T™ programmable deep learning architecture, NDP200 is designed to natively run deep multiple neural networks (DNN) on a variety of architectures, such as CNN, RNN and fully connected networks, and it performs vision processing with highly accurate inference at under 1mW. NDP200 brings a level of ML performance that delivers 25x the tensor throughput than the Syntiant Core 1™ embedded in Syntiant’s NDP100 and NDP101 devices. A programmable Hifi3 DSP is available for feature extraction and signal processing.
The NDP200 supports dozens of application-defined imaging, speech, and sensor sequences for a variety of use cases including:
- Person presence detection
- Object classification
- Wake words and local commands
- Motion tracking
- Acoustic event and scene classification
- Multi-sensor fusion
