-
Ambiq sets itself apart through its deep focus on ultra-low power, AI-enabled edge computing—driven by the SPOT® platform, whole-system power efficiency, always-on AI, built-in security, compact SoC integration, and a singular commitment to energy-efficient intelligence.
-
Edge AI refers to running artificial intelligence processing directly on devices instead of in the cloud. This approach reduces latency, improves data privacy, and allows real-time decision-making even without constant connectivity.
-
You can explore detailed product specifications, development kits, and case studies on our Technologies and Products pages, or contact our team for tailored recommendations.
-
Yes. Ambiq products are used as the semiconductor in products that implement AI and machine learning. Our Sub-threshold power optimized Technology (SPOT) platform is fundamental in lowering the total system power requirements of AI, and in many cases, allows developers to add AI, where they couldn't before.
The ultra-low power solutions based on SPOT have become the key enablers for battery-operated hearables, remote controls, wearables, smart cards, wireless sensors, edge devices, and voice-controlled products. -

Ambiq’s technology benefits battery-powered devices by using ultra-low power design techniques—like its SPOT® platform—to extend battery life, support always-on features, and reduce the need for frequent charging. This makes it ideal for wearables, health monitors, and smart sensors that need to run efficiently for long periods without recharging.
-
Applications such as AI are power-intensive. As the world begins to depend more and more on incorporating AI into their daily lives, developers have to adjust their device's power budget to incorporate more sophisticated uses of AI. Ambiq’s ultra-low power technology enables devices like wearables, health monitors, and smart sensors to last longer on a single charge, stay always on, and require less frequent charging.
-
Yes, you can use Ambiq SoCs in medical and health-related devices, especially battery-powered or wearable medical-grade monitors. Their ultra-low power consumption makes them ideal for:
Continuous health monitoring (e.g., heart rate, SpO₂, ECG)
Wearable biosensors (e.g., skin temperature, motion tracking)
Portable diagnostic tools (e.g., patch monitors, smart inhalers)
However, if your device is classified as a regulated medical device, you'll need to ensure that:
The entire system, including the Ambiq SoC, complies with relevant medical standards (like FDA, CE, ISO 13485).
The firmware and software stack running on the SoC meets medical safety and reliability requirements.
Ambiq’s SoCs offer low power, integrated sensors, AI capabilities, and secure connectivity, which support the development of innovative medical technologies. For regulated uses, careful system-level validation is required. -
Ambiq’s ultra-low power Edge AI solutions are used across diverse industries, including healthcare, smart home, industrial IoT, asset tracking, wearables, gaming, and automotive applications. Our technology enables intelligent features while extending battery life.
