Tiny RAPTOR, developed by Dolphin Design, is a complete Neural Processor solution to deploy AI at the very edge combining Software and Hardware approaches resulting from more than 3 years of development, together with CEA-List in a joint laboratory.
Tiny RAPTOR is a Power efficient Neural Processing IP Platform specialized in sound and vision. It fits particularly well within any MCU subsystem, in particular Dolphin Design’s solution (CHAMELEON).
It is designed to be embedded in SoCs targeting a broad range of Edge AI use-cases, including:
for a broad range of applications, including:
A DOLPHIN DESIGN demo chip embedding its Tiny RAPTOR accelerator has been produced.

(0.045mm2 in 22nm for 32 GOPS)
The demonstrator applies a keyword spotting application and will be presented at the CEA-List booth.
Executing deep neural networks in an energy-efficient way is an area of continued research for DOLPHIN DESIGN and CEA-List joint R&D lab.
Dolphin Design is currently developing a software generation flow that Dolphin Design’s customers will be able to use to develop lean, low-power applications.
