Mouser Electronics Now Stocking NXP i.MX 8M Plus Processors with NPU for Edge Machine Learning
June 15, 2023 – Mouser Electronics, Inc., the industry’s leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components™, is now stocking the i.MX 8M Plus applications processors from NXP Semiconductors. These embedded multi-core heterogeneous applications processors are the first in the i.MX family to integrate a dedicated neural processing unit (NPU) for advanced machine learning inference at the edge in industrial and Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
The i.MX 8M Plus applications processors, available from Mouser Electronics, integrate two or four Arm® Cortex®-A53 cores running at up to 1.8 GHz, plus an 800 MHz Arm Cortex-M7 core for low-power real-time processing. Using the integrated NPU, the i.MX 8M Plus processor simultaneously detects multiple highly complex neural network functions, including human pose and emotion detection, multi-object surveillance, and the recognition of over 40,000 English words.
The i.MX 8M Plus devices feature a high-performance 800 MHz audio digital signal processor (DSP) for voice and natural language processing. Dual integrated image signal processors (ISPs) support two high-definition cameras for real-time stereo vision or a single 12MP resolution camera that includes high dynamic range (HDR) and fisheye lens correction. The devices support 2D and 3D graphics to provide a rich visual HMI experience and can compress multiple video feeds using the H.265 or H.264 HD video encoder and decoder for cloud streaming or local storage.
The NXP i.MX 8M Plus processors are ideal for applications such as surveillance, smart retail applications, robot vision, home health monitors, smart home, smart city, building control, and industrial IoT.
