BRN Discussion Ongoing

Renesas has broken quite a long silence by announcing the tapping out an Akida inspired chip. Perhaps there are other elements of their collaboration with Renesas that have developed over the last two years and to which they are now happy for BrainChip to inform the market on. Forever the optimist, an incoming announcement would not surprise me. Who nodes?

Move on, nothing to see.
MRAM fabricated in BEOL (Note 1) is advantageous compared to flash memory fabricated in FEOL (Note 2) for sub-22 nm processes because it is compatible with existing CMOS logic process technology and requires fewer additional mask layers. However, MRAM has a smaller read margin than flash memory, which degrades read speed.
May I point out that Weebit ReRAM is implemented in 22nm CMOS and is far superior to FLASH, especially WRT read speed—their selector can even work on individual bits. Also ReRAM is far cheaper, and simpler, to incorporate in a SOC solution that MRAM.

Maybe one day! Come on BrainChip and Weebit , when you last chatted you may have decided now was not the time, but maybe now is the time for some of your partners in the ecosystem. I think I t’s time for a combined front to Renasas and others in the ecosystem. A huge opportunity exists for you both.

I’m certain Renasas will love to take all those exotic materials, required for MRAM, out of their chips. And the fabs will love them for it! MRAM requires back end processing, fab re-tooling, and extra layers, this must introduce errors by the extra handling alone.

What fantastic news (Renesas)
The long runway shown by renesas incorporating akida IP shows there must be healthy customer demand for whatever product they are producing.
Wishing all the BRN loyalists and Cooper beer drinkers a happy night !!!
Pulling out the special coopers tonight 👍

Wasn’t it Renesas that said something like we have licensed 2 Akida nodes to get the ball rolling? Well the ball is rolling, so what’s next?

Let's not over-egg the pudding. Renesas said they would be using their in-house DRP-AI for the heavy AI work, so we may have to wait until the next generation processors from Renesas before they go full Akida. .

Apparently BRN will be making an announcement tomorrow that there will be no announcement tomorrow, other than perhaps an announcement that there will be no announcement on Tuesday. If however an announcement is made on Tuesday concerning no announcement on Wednesday then the announcement not announced on Thursday will be cancelled.
So we will wait with baited breath till Friday for the Announcement to say wait till next week for an updated non Announcement.

My new best friend ChatGPT is saying between only a few days to a few weeks from taping to final chip manufacturing:

I would think that the testing of a processor/controller chip with a NN would be more complex than testing most other sorts of ICs.

Socionext Posted this on Linkedin... Not a bad read. I like some of the wording being used within the Article, like "Differentiation" Not sure where i have heard that many times in the past... *cough*

First it's Chis Stevens and now Rob Teslon 'Exciting Time'. Well personally for me, I am excited for being a shareholder.

"Now you have accelerators for driving AI with neural processing units rather than a dual core CPU. We are working with a third party taping out a device in December on 22nm CMOS,” said Chittipeddi.

And its already December, so does that mean it's close, or ready for the device to be taping out?

Have an exciting future everyone 🙂
Very exciting!

Edit: Now: Edge Impulse 😄



It's great to be a shareholder 🏖

Reading over the Renesas article, it says that “We want to see where the market reception is the highest, that is what determines whether we bring things in house or through a third party.”

Sean has said that “Renesas are bringing are set of products out” and when renesas says “we want to see where the market reception is the highest” tells me there’s more than one application renesas are planning & is in line with what the CEO Sean Hehir has said!

Truly exciting times!

These comments concern me to some extent. My impression is that if there is significant take up of the chips then renesas would look to acquire BRN. This has been from inception my biggest fear.

seeds have the potential to become trees.
Good morning all chippers and chiplets! I have a good feeling about today. It’s Monday, It’s a new week, and anything is possible :)

Now for a cup of coffee and getting my daily dose of the word of God to set the day straight.
