Apollo2 Thin SoC

Compact Power

Apollo2 Thin kv mobile 1

The Apollo2 Thin SoC is an ultra-low power, ultra-low profile, highly integrated system-on-a chip designed for battery-powered devices. With Ambiq’s patented Subthreshold Power Optimized Technology (SPOT®) and a powerful Arm® Cortex®-M4 processor with Floating Point, battery-operated devices achieve greater capabilities and energy efficiency.

Take Charge of Your Life

01

Ultra-Thin

As thin as 300μm and perfect for contactless biometric cards, including payment, authentication, access, and more.

02

Ideal Solution

An ideal solution for battery-powered applications requiring sensor measurement and data analysis with extended battery life achieving days, weeks, or months.

03

Multiple Serial Protocol Support

A host processor can communicate with the Apollo2 Thin SoC over its serial slave port using the I2C, SPI or I2S protocol.

04

Greater Performance

Implementation of the Arm Cortex-M4F core delivers both greater performance and much lower power than 8-bit, 16-bit, and other comparable 32-bit cores.
