+summary: "Pulsar is a brain-inspired neuromorphic microcontroller designed for ultra-low-power, real-time intelligence in edge devices. It combines a Spiking Neural Network (SNN) engine with a RISC-V MCU and CNN acceleration to enable smart sensing applications without cloud dependency."
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+Pulsar is Innatera's revolutionary brain-inspired microcontroller, engineered to deliver real-time, event-driven intelligence for a new generation of smart devices. As the world's first commercially available neuromorphic processor for the mass market, Pulsar is designed to process sensor data with ultra-low power consumption, enabling "always-on" capabilities in wearables, IoT devices, and industrial systems without relying on the cloud.
+
+The core of Pulsar's innovation lies in its Spiking Neural Network (SNN) engine. Unlike traditional AI that continuously processes dense data, SNNs operate on event-driven spikes, activating compute power only when new information is available. This drastically reduces energy consumption to microwatt levels while achieving sub-millisecond inference speeds.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Pulsar features a hybrid architecture that provides both efficiency and flexibility:
+
+*   **Spiking Neural Network (SNN) Engine:** The primary engine for processing sensor data like motion, audio, and vibration with maximum power efficiency.
+*   **RISC-V MCU:** A conventional microcontroller unit for general-purpose tasks and control.
+*   **CNN Acceleration:** Hardware support for Convolutional Neural Networks, offering versatility across different types of AI workloads.
+
+This combination allows Pulsar to function as the sole microcontroller a sensor needs, integrating neuromorphic intelligence directly at the edge.
+
+## Software and Development
+
+Development for Pulsar is streamlined through the **Talamo SDK**. This software development kit allows developers to:
+- Create Spiking Neural Network models.
+- Easily port existing models from popular frameworks like TensorFlow and PyTorch.
+- Develop applications without requiring deep expertise in neuromorphic engineering.
+
+This approach lowers the barrier to entry for building brain-inspired AI solutions.
+
+## Applications
+
+Pulsar's unique capabilities make it ideal for a wide range of power-constrained and latency-critical applications:
+
+*   **Wearables & Hearables:** Enabling always-on health monitoring, gesture recognition, and fall detection.
+*   **Smart Home & IoT:** Providing real-time event detection and environmental awareness without cloud reliance, enhancing privacy and responsiveness.
+*   **Industrial Applications:** Facilitating predictive maintenance and anomaly detection through ultra-efficient, continuous monitoring of machinery and systems.
