Ambiq makes unprecedented energy-efficient SoCs and ultra-low power platform solutions that enable edge AI on billions of battery-powered devices. Our mission is to put intelligence everywhere by delivering the lowest-power semiconductor solutions on the planet. With the SPOT® platform and the Apollo and Atomiq SoC family, Ambiq empowers innovators to build smarter, longer-lasting wearables, IoT, smart home, healthcare, and industrial devices.
Edge artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the deployment of AI models and algorithms directly on power-constrained local devices at the edge, rather than in a centralized cloud environment.
While cloud-based AI platforms like ChatGPT have captured the spotlight since 2022, a quieter but equally transformative revolution has been unfolding —Edge AI. As devices become more advanced and versatile, AI must evolve beyond cloud-based implementations to thrive in environments where computing and energy resources are limited.
We are committed to your future

Ambiq Wins Growth Catalyst Award by Opportunity Austin and SXSW
Edge AI means running AI models directly on power-constrained local devices at the edge, instead of relying only on a centralized cloud environment.
Ambiq’s core portfolio includes System-on-Chip (SoC) solutions and Real-Time Clock (RTC) products. They also offer evaluation boards, display kits, debugger tools, and accompanying software/AI developer solutions.
Apollo is Ambiq’s SoC family designed to help innovators build smarter, longer-lasting devices for categories like wearables, smart glasses, smart home and buildings, healthcare devices, and industrial applications. Now in its Fifth generation, flagship products include the Apollo510, Apollo510B, ApolloD Lite, Apollo330M Plus, and more.
SPOT® (Subthreshold Power Optimized Technology) is Ambiq’s proprietary and patented platform focused on ultra-low power operation. SPOT is how Ambiq differentiates itself from other semiconductor companies. Rather than operating above voltage levels above 1V, Ambiq has defied physics with SPOT to operate below 1 Volt or at subthreshold levels, providing a quadratic saving in energy-efficiency the lower the volt goes. In turn, developers can add larger and more complex AI models without compromising performance and battery life.
Common categories include smartwatches, smart glasses, healthcare monitors, industrial sensors, smart remotes, and more, where battery life and always-on intelligence matter. More information about Ambiq applications can be found here.
Ambiq focuses on extreme energy efficiency through its SPOT® platform which enables battery-powered devices to consume significantly less energy, making room for larger and more complex AI workloads that are always on and at the edge.
