Ambiq’s mission is to develop the lowest-power semiconductor solutions to enable intelligent devices everywhere. Ambiq has shipped more than 260 million units and helped leading manufacturers worldwide create products that last weeks on a single charge while delivering a maximum feature set in compact industrial designs. Ambiq aims to enable Artificial Intelligence (AI) in mobile and portable devices, where it has never been possible before, for a more energy-efficient, sustainable, and data-driven world.
Ambiq achieves unmatched energy efficiency with its transformative Subthreshold Power Optimization Technology (SPOT®) platform, dramatically reducing products’ total system power consumption for either longer battery life or new functionality. Ambiq is the only semiconductor company to successfully commercialize and scale subthreshold power in their integrated circuit designs, resulting in an unprecedented 10X-13X reduction in energy consumption.
During design, testing, and manufacturing, semiconductor companies avoid subthreshold power operations due to highly volatile and unpredictable variables such as temperature, process, voltage, etc. Ambiq has overcome all these challenges by continuously perfecting SPOT to maximize energy efficiency in the last 14 years, resulting in unmatched power savings.
Wearable manufacturers, for instance, can use Ambiq’s microprocessors to add more complex features, such as enriched graphic display, data sensing and real-time analysis, advanced inferencing, always-on listening or speech detection, and more without draining the battery. This creates instant value for smart device manufacturers and their consumers, which is why Ambiq is in more than 70% of the top 10 major smartwatches and fitness bands.
Outside of wearables, Ambiq’s SPOT platform can be used in industrial, medical, smart homes, gaming, and AR/VR applications, to name a few. As the world moves towards using AI to enhance our everyday lives, moving this intelligence to the edge is vital to transforming our future into a more data-driven and intelligent world.
