FIRSTCHIP: A Novel Edge-Computing Accelerator for Low-Power AI Inference

YC W19 Deployment Case Study

• RISC-V core (RV32IMC) for control & scheduling
• Sparse CNN engine with 64 multiply-accumulate (MAC) units
• 2MB on-chip SRAM (banked for zero-skipping)
• Power management unit with 0.6V–1.0V operation

While software competitors might ship code daily, FirstChip spent years validating, testing, and manufacturing. That groundwork creates a defensive barrier that is incredibly difficult for competitors to replicate. firstchip+yc2019+new
