Enable true edge intelligence with the MAX78000 and MAX78002 ultra-low-power AI microcontrollers. The MAX78000 and MAX78002 are Arm® M4F microcontrollers with a RISC-V® coprocessor and a hardware-based convolutional neural network (CNN) accelerator. The CNN accelerator executes AI inferences using µJ of energy, providing a path for small, battery powered applications to participate in the current AI revolution. MAX78000 and MAX78002 are perfect for audio, vision, and time-series applications. Both ultra-low-power AI microcontrollers utilize the same development tools. The main difference is the MAX78002 has a larger memory than the MAX78000, but most edge AI models can successfully be implemented on either part.
