The integrated design of the latest MCUs, with
on-device intelligence, eliminates the need for
continuous cloud communication, reduces the
complexity of system design, and provides easier
integration with fewer peripherals.
The STM32N6 is an MCU from STMicroelectronics
that is designed to deliver an accessible route to
AI at the edge. It enables vision and machine
learning applications traditionally reserved
for MPUs, all within a microcontroller. It
combines a powerful Arm Cortex-M core with
an integrated NPU and a camera interface
pipeline. Even with its onboard AI functionality,
the STM32N6 remains an embedded device that
will be familiar to engineers.

Nowadays, everybody thinks about
autonomous cars and large language
models, which require a lot of processing
power, performance, and energy, but you
don't need this monster performance for
most applications in the industrial setting."
