ICORE-1126BQ38
ICORE-1126BQ38 Mini AI SoM

Powered by Rockchip's RV1126B AI vision processor (3 TOPS NPU), this compact module (38mm×38mm) supports 2B multimodal models and deep learning. It features a 12M AI-ISP for excellent day/night imaging, 4K video processing, multi-camera AI stitching, 6-axis digital stabilization, and multi-source fusion (RGB/IR/ToF). With AOA low-power sound detection and built-in Chinese cryptographic (SM2/SM3/SM4) security, it is ideal for AIoT applications like facial recognition, smart security, and industrial vision.

AI Processor RV1126B

Powered by the RV1126B, a high-performance 64-bit quad-core AI vision processor, it is built on ARM Cortex-A53 cores and integrates NEON SIMD and FPU, with a clock speed of up to 1.6GHz. Its performance exceeds that of comparable chips by over 2x, delivering robust support for intensive computing and multitasking.

Supports Multimodal Models

Built-in 3 TOPS NPU supports running LLMs and multimodal models up to 2B parameters (e.g., Qwen, Gemma2-2B, Phi2, MiniCPM). Featuring advanced optimizations like quantization and Transformer acceleration, it delivers robust on-device AI capabilities for image understanding and cross-modal fusion in lightweight scenarios.

Built-in 8-Megapixel AI-ISP

Equipped with a new-generation hardware-based ISP supporting up to 12MP, complete with accelerators for HDR, 3A, LSC, noise reduction, and other key algorithms. Building upon this foundation, an AI-ISP (up to 8MP), enabling superior spatial noise reduction and enhanced image processing capabilities.

Intelligent Encoding Engine

RV1126B features a smart encoding engine that supports 8MP at 45fps. Its dynamic bitrate optimization cuts bandwidth usage by 50% versus standard CBR, doubling recording time with equal storage while maintaining image quality. This reduces storage and transmission costs, ideal for video surveillance and data intensive applications.

Input From 5 Cameras

With two sets of MIPI-CSI/LVDS/SubLVDS DPHY (each set of DPHY supports 4 Lanes: 1×4 Lane or 2×2 Lanes) and one DVP interface (BT.601/BT.656/BT.1120), supporting up to five simultaneous camera inputs.

Hardware-Level Security System

RV1126B integrates hardware-level security with support for SM2/SM3/SM4 cryptographic algorithms. Featuring TrustZone isolation and a key management system, it provides full-chain protection for data and AI models, meeting stringent security requirements for intelligent devices.

Rich Expansion Interfaces

Features a comprehensive set of expansion interfaces including I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, PWM, GPIO, USB3.0, USB 2.0, SAI, MIPI-DSI, MIPI-CSI, and DVP, meeting the peripheral expansion requirements of diverse application scenarios.

38mm × 38mm Mini Size

Adopted BTB interface design, equipped with high-speed industrial-grade connectors. It features exceptional transmission capability, high-frequency stability, and the convenience of solder-free assembly. With a compact size of just 38mm × 38mm, the core board saves valuable space.
AI-ISP+AOV3.0: Redefining Visual Perception

RV1126B integrates a dedicated 8MP AI-ISP that operates independently from the NPU, saving power and bandwidth. It supports AI Remosaic for high-quality imaging in both daylight and low-light conditions. The chip also includes AOV 3.0 for low-power audio event wake-up with 1mW standby, enabling continuous monitoring. Combined with hardware 6-DOF stabilization , binocular, and panoramic dynamic stitching, it delivers stable, seamless wide-angle video, meeting security and automotive applications.

Application Scenarios

It is widely applicable in various industry sectors such as facial recognition, access control gates, intelligent security systems, smart network cameras, smart peepholes/doorbells, and dash cams.
