Texas Instruments AM68A vision processor

Embedded vision SoC with an 8 TOPS deep learning accelerator, dual Cortex-A72 cores and a hardware imaging pipeline.

Embedded vision processor package on a green circuit board

Overview

AM68A combines Arm application cores with TI's deep learning accelerator and the VPAC vision and imaging subsystem, so capture, pre-processing and inference all run in hardware on one device. It is supported by the TI Edge AI SDK and the TIDL runtime.

Typical use cases

  • Machine vision cameras
  • Robotics perception
  • Traffic and access control

Deployment environment

Custom embedded board or vendor system-on-module
