SparkFun MicroMod Artemis Processor

The SparkFun MicroMod Artemis Processor is a supercharged brain board, powered by the ultra-efficient Artemis Module. Built around a Cortex-M4F with BLE 5.0, it operates at a speed of up to 96MHz and consumes as little as 6uA per MHz (less than 5mW). This board features an M.2 MicroMod connector, allowing seamless integration with a range of MicroMod Carrier Boards equipped with various peripherals. Whether you require Machine Learning capabilities, Bluetooth, or I²C functionality for connecting to Sparkfun's impressive range of Qwiic boards, the Artemis Processor is an excellent choice for your MicroMod Carrier Board.

The Artemis Module at the core of this processor is built around Ambiq Micro's Apollo3 processor. This processor, with its ultra-efficient ARM Cortex-M4F, is designed to run TensorFlow Lite using only 6uA/MHz. The board features two I²C buses, eight GPIO, dedicated digital, analog, and PWM pins, multiple SPI, QuadSPI, and even Bluetooth. It's a versatile and power-packed component that can supercharge any project.

MicroMod is a unique modular interface ecosystem that connects a microcontroller “processor board” to various “carrier board” peripherals. Utilizing the M.2 standard, the MicroMod standard is designed for easy processor swapping. Simply pair a specialized carrier board with your choice of compatible processor for a custom solution tailored to your project's specific needs.
