03 November 2023

DigiKey, a global commerce distributor offering the largest selection of technical components and automation products in stock for immediate shipment, has partnered with Ambiq to distribute their ultra-low power semiconductors globally.

Through the new partnership, DigiKey is now stocking Ambiq's Apollo4 Blue Plus. With one of the lowest dynamic powers for microcontrollers currently on the market, the new system on chip (SoC) allows designers of next-generation wearables and battery-operated smart devices to accelerate their innovation.Source: DigiKeySource: DigiKey

The Apollo4 Blue Plus is a 4th generation system processor solution built upon Ambiq's proprietary Subthreshold Power-Optimized Technology (SPOT) platform. The device's complete hardware and software solution enables current and future battery-powered endpoint devices to achieve a higher level of intelligence without sacrificing battery life.

The Apollo4 Blue Plus with Bluetooth Low Energy has more than enough compute and storage to handle complex artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms and neural networks, always-on voice recognition and display capability for smooth graphics.

"Ambiq shares the same value of meeting and exceeding customer's expectations with DigiKey," said Mike Kenyon, vice president of sales and business development at Ambiq. "We're excited to partner with DigiKey to offer our portfolio of ultra-low power, AI-enabled semiconductor solutions to help ease the customer's search for the best electronic components in one place."
