Always-on artificial intelligent (AI) functions such as keyword spotting (KWS) and visual wake-up tend to dominate total power consumption in ultra-low power devices. A key observation is that the signals to an always-on function are sparse in time, which a spiking neural network (SNN) classifier can leverage for power savings, because the switching activity and power consumption of SNNs tend to scale with spike rate. Toward this goal, we present a novel SNN classifier architecture for always-on functions, demonstrating sub-300nW power consumption at the competitive inference accuracy for a KWS and other always-on classification workloads.
