Renesas Electronics RZ/V2M Vision-Optimized AI Accelerator MPUs
Renesas Electronics RZ/V2M Vision-Optimized AI Accelerator Microprocessors (MPUs) feature a dynamically reconfigurable processor (DRP-AI). The vision-optimized AI accelerator delivers high power efficiency, eliminating the need for heat sinks and cooling fans. The RZ/V2M series offers real-time AI inference and low power consumption for embedded devices for infrastructure, industrial, and retail applications. The MPUs leverage the DRP-AI's power efficiency to achieve power consumption as low as 4W (typical), enable the processors to be used in compact devices, help to minimize equipment sizes, and reduce bill-of-materials costs. The modules also provide opportunities to incorporate AI in embedded devices.
The DRP-AI vision-optimized AI accelerator is an intellectual property (IP) evolved from the DRP built into the RZ/A2M device. The IP core can perform AI processing with approximately 10x the power efficiency of the DRP, achieving the 1.0 TOPS/W class. Because the DRP can dynamically change the configuration of its operation circuits every clock cycle, the DRP-AI can support advancing AI algorithms.
Renesas Electronics RZ/V2M Vision-Optimized AI Accelerator MPUs include an imaging signal processor (ISP) that processes high-resolution 4K pixels at 30 frames per second (FPS). The ISP uses high dynamic range (HDR) functionality, noise-reduction functionality, and distortion-correction functionality to substantially increase precision in AI recognition, regardless of factors such as the weather, the time of day, or the installation location.
