Mouser Electronics, Inc. has announced a new eBook in collaboration with Micron, exploring the importance of memory in AI edge applications and the key design considerations for deploying edge AI effectively. Micron is an industry leader in innovative memory and storage solutions enabling AI, ML, and autonomous vehicles in key market segments like edge computing, data centres, networking, and mobile.
In '5 Experts On Addressing The Hidden Challenges of Embedding Edge AI into End Products', AI industry-leading experts examine processing data at the edge, closer to where data systems can perform real-time data processing and decision-making without cloud connectivity's latency and security concerns. Edge AI applications are incredibly memory-hungry and need high-performance, low-latency memory solutions to handle the massive amounts of data involved in AI inference. These demands are compelling memory technology forward with solutions like high bandwidth and low power memory, which are at the forefront of importance in the AI ecosystem from a commodity to a key differentiator in AI-enabled devices and applications.
This eBook examines the importance of memory in edge AI applications, the design considerations associated with deploying edge AI, and the ways that both companies are leading the charge with the industry's highest-performance and highest-density memory solutions:
Micron's LPDDR5 DRAM memory is designed to satisfy the demands of the latest AI inference architectures. It offers a 50% increase in data access speeds compared to LPDDR4, and the leading 1-beta LPDDR5X provides even more performance, up to 9.6Gbps. All this increases efficiency and AI experiences at the edge.
The company's LPDDR4 DRAM memory is optimised to address power consumption issues in battery-operated applications. It delivers 33% faster peak bandwidth than DDR4 for these applications and ultra-portables.
The company's e.MMC-managed NAND technology combines high-capacity application-to-application interoperability, delivering dual voltage support and superior endurance ideal for consumer, networking, industrial, and automotive applications.
Micron's Serial NOR Flash satisfies the requirements of multiple consumer electronics, industrial, wired communications, and computing applications with industry-standard packaging, pinouts, command sets, and chipset compatibility for easy design.
