Formerly known as Cubiq Microchip, Inc , Ambiq Micro, Inc. is a fabless semiconductor company developing mixed-signal solutions for wireless electronics. Anchored in work undertaken by the principals while at University of Michigan, the firm is developing ultra low power microcontrollers (MCUs), based on the ARM architecture and is argeted for use in wearables and other applications. The firm has developed an advanced CMOS semiconductor platform -- SPOT (Subthreshold Power Optimized Technology) -- that dramatically reduces the system power requirements for semiconductors used in energy critical applications. Ambiq Micro is developing a broad portfolio of ultra-low power semiconductor products for smart cards, wireless sensors, medical devices and a wide range of applications where nanoamps really matter. The Ambiq Micro power management capable RTC is the worlds lowest power real-time clock, requiring only 22nA for many applications while retaining a rich feature set. The Ambiq Micro RTC solves the tough problems facing product designers today extending battery life while lowering product cost.
