BrainChip Now Available on DigiKey: Accelerating AI at the Edge 

We’re thrilled to announce that BrainChip’s Akida™ technology is now available on DigiKey, a leading global distributor of electronic components and semiconductors. This milestone marks an exciting new chapter in making neuromorphic AI more accessible to engineers, developers, and innovators worldwide. 

Why DigiKey? 

DigiKey is a trusted name in the electronics industry, known for its extensive portfolio of semiconductors, development kits, and AI solutions. By listing BrainChip products in this ecosystem, we’re not only increasing visibility but also making it easier for customers to order, experiment, and deploy Akida technology alongside the components they already rely on.

What’s Available

Through DigiKey, customers can now purchase: 

• Akida™ M.2 E Key Card & B+M Key Card – for easy integration and rapid prototyping. 

• Akida™ PCIe Card – for model development, demonstrations, and scaling. 

• Raspberry Pi Development Kit with Akida M.2 Card using the BOM we created*– enabling on-device neuromorphic AI directly without extra integration. 

These options give engineers the flexibility to test and validate models directly on Akida hardware, ensuring performance and efficiency before moving to production. The Raspberry Pi kit, in particular, lowers the entry barrier—allowing developers to experience the benefits of real-time, low-power AI on a compact, accessible platform. 

The Benefits of Access on DigiKey
