Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAXREFDES178 Cube Camera Reference Design

Analog DevicesMAXREFDES178 Cube Camera Reference Design is based on the MAX78000 and MAX32666 microcontrollers and helps system designers accelerate AI at the Edge solutions through the proof-of-concept phase. The MAXREFDES178 features two MAX78000 AI Accelerated Microcontrollers, BLE5 wireless connectivity, a Li-Ion battery, color image sensor and digital microphone. A short 33-position flex cable connects the connectivity board and AI board. The MAX78000 is an Arm® Cortex® M4F Microcontroller with a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) accelerator unit. The unique energy-efficient architecture of the MAX78000 enables battery-powered AI for at the edge applications such as face identification and keyword spotting.

The Analog Devices MAXREFDES178 Cube Camera Reference Design is supported by an Android App available at the Google Play Store.
