DSP With Edge AI Feature

The application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the air-conditioning industry is becoming increasingly widespread, encompassing functions such as remote control, intelligent learning, and scenario adaptation. In terms of energy conservation and carbon reduction, AI plays a pivotal role in several aspects. It enables predictive maintenance, which significantly extends the lifespan of air conditioners and minimizes energy waste caused by malfunctions. Additionally, AI algorithms can optimize operational parameters by analyzing historical data, enhancing the energy efficiency ratio (EER) of air conditioners and reducing electricity bills for users. Furthermore, through real-time monitoring and prediction of system status, AI automatically adjusts the operational parameters of cooling towers, cooling pumps, chillers, and other equipment, minimizing energy consumption across the entire system. According to relevant data, the application of AI technology can achieve energy savings of 15-25% in central air-conditioning systems.

TMS320F28P550SJ processor, though widely used in real-time control applications, particularly in industrial automation, power electronics, and automotive electronics, can also play a significant role in certain AI-related scenarios, especially in embedded systems and edge computing, through its robust processing capabilities and specialized features. It can participate in AI applications in the following ways:

  • Embedded AI Inference

    In embedded systems requiring extreme real-time performance, such as sensor fusion in autonomous vehicles or real-time path planning for industrial robots, the TMS320F28P550SJ can execute lightweight AI inference tasks. These might involve simplified versions of trained models, enabling quick decision-making at the edge.

    Leveraging its built-in Control Law Accelerator (CLA) and potentially Neural Network Processing Unit (NNPU), the TMS320F28P550SJ can accelerate certain types of neural network computations.

  • Data Preprocessing and Postprocessing

    Within the data pipeline of AI systems, the TMS320F28P550SJ can manage data acquisition, preprocessing, and postprocessing. For instance, in machine vision applications, it can process raw image data from cameras, performing tasks like image filtering, edge detection, and other preprocessing steps before forwarding the refined data to more potent AI processors for deeper analysis.

  • Real-Time Control and System Integration

    Real-time control is an indispensable element in many AI applications. The TMS320F28P550SJ collaborates with AI processors to execute real-time control tasks, such as motor control and motion control. Additionally, it translates the decision outcomes from AI processors into specific control commands, ensuring precise manipulation of the physical environment.
