Tackling the Power Problem in Portable Voice-First Devices
While the popularity of voice-first interfaces has spawned massive diversity in device type, as long as these devices have one thing in common: They are battery-powered, and that could be a problem for consumers who are tired of frequently recharging batteries. Read more
Analog solution enables always on sensing
Steve Taranovich explains how a better understanding of our brain's efficiency in processing and analyzing sounds is leading to a more efficient always on sensing architecture for battery-operated devices. Read more
Aspinity's Analog Neural Net Wake-Up Call
Putting an analog chip in front of an always-on system for digitizing speech and having the analog chip listen for sounds of interest may help avoid huge power waste and data congestion in current voice-recognition systems. Read more
Always-on-sensing: don't waste power in digits
Leveraging a proprietary Reconfigurable Analog Modular Processor (RAMP) platform, Aspinity promises always-on-sensing at a tenth of the power budget that digital-based solutions offer today. Read more
Aspinity Puts Neural Networks Back to Analog
EETimes writes about RAMP and how the "analyze-first" approach reduces the power required at the edge by up to 10x and the volume of data handled by up to 100x for always-on applications. Read more
