CEVA’s Bluetooth low energy (BLE) IP is already being used to power Ambiq Micro’s Apollo3 Blue Family Wireless System-on-Chip (SoC) that features in applications requiring intelligence everywhere, from wearables to animal trackers to smart home devices and includes some of the world’s biggest brands.
The Apollo3 Blue family are said to represent a quantum leap forward in ultra-low power design. With strong power numbers in both active and sleep modes, along with a high-performance processing engine, the Apollo3 Blue devices are able to provide efficient processing solutions. For connectivity, Apollo3 Blue products integrate an energy-efficient Bluetooth 5 low-energy radio combined with improved communication features to enable always-connected, ultra-low power designs. At the heart of all Apollo3 products is Ambiq Micro’s patented Subthreshold Power Optimised Technology (SPOT), which dramatically reduces energy consumption while still enabling abundant application processing power to add greater capability and extended life to battery-operated devices, including hearables, wearables, IoT endpoint devices, and voice-controlled applications.
Commenting Dan Cermak, Executive Director of Architecture and Product Planning at Ambiq Micro said, “CEVA’s commitment to developing the lowest-power wireless connectivity solutions perfectly complements our strategy and is evident in the success of our Apollo3 Blue and Apollo3 Blue Plus wireless SoC, which has shipped in high volume products to date. We look forward to continuing our collaboration for our future SPOT-based wireless SoCs.”
