CM-PM1K Prototyping Module

    The CogniMem Prototyping Module (CM-PM) is the smallest board featuring a CogniMem chip ready for use in the learning and recognition of patterns coming from an external sensor or microcontroller. Its low-pin count and low power consumption make it an ideal candidate for embedded designs avoiding the surface mount process. The CM1K chip is the sole active component and features 1024 silicon neurons working in parallel and implementing two well known non-linear classifiers.

    It can recognize patterns at high speed while coping with ill-defined data, unknown events and changes of contexts and working conditions. CM-PM enables education and research teams to get an initial perception of the CM1K chip’s simplicity of deployment.

    CM-PM is easy to connect to a microcontroller through I2C serial communication. The knowledge (the content of the neurons) can be uploaded from a file or built on the module by sending teaching instructions to the neurons. The parallel output bus can be directly connected to a category display such as seven segments, LED, speech synthesizer or other format. Battery operation is possible.
