Ambiq Micro, Inc. announced the Apollo family of four 32-bit ARM® Cortex-M4F microcontrollers (MCUs). In real-world applications, their energy consumption is typically 5- to 10-times lower than that of MCUs of comparable performance, resulting in far longer battery life in wearable electronics and other battery-powered applications. The dramatic reduction in energy consumption is achieved using Ambiq’s patented Subthreshold Power Optimized
