The STM32N6 MCU from STMicroelectronics, available from Mouser, is the first in the STM32 series to incorporate ST's patented Neural-ART Accelerator™, designed specifically for embedded inference and delivering machine learning performance 600 times greater than existing high-end STM32 MCUs. The STM32N6's Neural-ART Accelerator operates at 1 GHz and delivers 600 gigaoperations per second (GOPS) at an average of 3 teraoperations per second (TOPS). This results in high energy efficiency, enabling the execution of machine learning applications that require an accelerated microprocessor on an MCU.
The STM32N6's machine learning performance enables computer vision, audio processing, and sound analysis for consumer and industrial edge applications, utilizing an 800 MHz Cortex-M55 MCU, a robust 4.2 MB of onboard RAM that also includes a NeoChrom GPU, an H.264 hardware encoder, and a Helium™ M-profile vector extension. The STM32N6 delivers remarkable AI performance and provides excellent flexibility in a small silicon package ideal for embedded and wearable systems.
The STM32N6 is compatible with the STM32N6570-DK Discovery Kit, also available from Mouser. This kit is a complete development and demonstration platform for the STM32N6, offering a full range of hardware features to enable users to evaluate the device. The kit includes USB Type-C™ devices, Octo-SPI flash memory and Hexadeca-SPI PSRAM devices, Ethernet connectivity, a camera module, a 5" LCD touchscreen, and much more. Four flexible expansion connectors provide easy expansion options for applications such as wireless connectivity, analog applications, and sensors.
