MAIA :  A Baseband Speech Codec Chip using Pleiades
Architectural Overview
 
Maia is the first domain  specific  architecture that integrates processors of different granularity (micro-processor, reconfigurable Dataflow and FPGA); and is targeted towards the Voice Coding domain.  Compared with our
previous test chip, P1, Maia has a more sophisticated synchronization scheme and more advanced address generator
which allow more complex kernels; it also has a micro-processor which makes running an entire application possible.

This chip will be fabricated in 0.25u CMOS  with an estimated power dissipation of roughly 1mW at  1V supply voltage.
