MAX780000FTHR

The MAX78000

The Maxim Integrated MAX78000FTHR development platform is based on the MAX78000 Arm Cortex M4F processor with an integrated Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) accelerator, which is ideal for AI applications running at the edge (e.g., in your home or in a vehicle). The flexible platform enables fast proof-of-concepts. Refer to the following helpful resources for additional information.
 
You can use the MAX78000 in a variety of exciting applications. Add AI capabilities to low-power devices without needing a connection to the Internet. Watch this webinar.
 

Good luck!
