Ambiq

Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, Ambiq is a leading developer of ultra-low-power semiconductor solutions tailored for edge applications. The company’s mission is to enable intelligence everywhere by solving one of the most pressing challenges in modern electronics: how to deliver meaningful compute and AI capabilities in devices that are always on but operate under strict power budgets.

At the core of Ambiq’s product portfolio is its patented Subthreshold Power Optimized Technology (SPOT®) platform. By operating transistors at voltages below traditional thresholds, SPOT® dramatically reduces energy consumption compared to conventional designs. This approach has allowed Ambiq to deliver microcontrollers and wireless SoCs that consume a fraction of the power of competing solutions, extending battery life and enabling smaller, lighter designs.

Ambiq’s Apollo family of microcontrollers and SoCs has become widely adopted across the wearable, healthcare, smart home, and industrial IoT markets. These devices combine advanced processing with integrated wireless connectivity, graphics engines, and hardware security, giving developers the tools to build responsive, secure, and connected products without sacrificing efficiency. The company’s technologies support a broad range of applications, from fitness trackers and smartwatches to remote patient monitoring and industrial asset tracking.

To date, Ambiq’s solutions have shipped in more than 270 million devices globally. With a focus on innovation at the intersection of performance and power efficiency, the company continues to push the boundaries of edge AI by integrating features such as vector processing, secure boot, and dedicated graphics acceleration into its latest devices.

Ambiq remains committed to enabling the next generation of intelligent, battery-friendly electronics, giving engineers the ability to design products that are always on, always connected, and always efficient.
