Mantis
96x96 Intelligent Image Sensor (AI-In-Sensor)
Mantis Revolutionary Capabilities
The AIS-C100A Mantis chip is a 96×96 AI-in-Sensor TinyML chip especially fitted for classification tasks. It includes a programmable always on wake-up CNN engine which can be used to turn on external microcontrollers when an object of interest is detected, as well as powerful post wake-up ML capability. All supporting circuitry is provided including power management, timing, AI, and communications as well as an up to 40mA LED driver offering both linear and PWM control on a single monolithic die with a minimum of external components required to save space. Communication is through an SPI port. The exposure time can be internally or externally controlled to reach best possible contrast for AI calculations. Mantis can also process information loaded through the SPI port in addition to the on-chip imager. The AIS-C100A is packaged in a 4.6×5.5 mm OLGA package.
Mantis is a unique machine learning solution that includes all the components required to implement a low cost camera solution.
