-
Applications for Ambiq include AI, gaming, wearables, hearables, smartcards, intelligent remotes, smart home/buildings, and industrial edge sensors, smart glasses, and more.
-
It’s the idea of devices staying ready for intelligent features whether they are connected by the internet or not. It is the idea that features like always-listening voice commands, continuously monitoring health, and other intelligent features can run uninterrupted and provide multi-day, month, or year-long battery life.
-
Because many edge devices need to run continuously on limited power budgets; Ambiq emphasizes dramatically reducing energy consumption so advanced sensing and edge AI workloads can run efficiently on batteries.

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. Other optimized technology include blueSPOT, turboSPOT, graphiqSPOT, secureSPOT, and neuralSPOT.
