Apollo3

Apollo3™ Ultra‑Low‑Power SoCs

The Apollo3™ family is Ambiq’s proven platform of ultra‑low‑power, highly integrated system‑on‑chip (SoC) solutions, designed for battery‑powered and portable devices that require advanced processing capability while maintaining industry‑leading energy efficiency. Built on Ambiq’s patented SPOT® (Subthreshold Power Optimized Technology) platform, Apollo3 enables complex sensing, compute, connectivity, and security functions to run for extended periods on small batteries.

Apollo3 devices are based on a high‑performance Arm® Cortex®‑M4 processor, supporting clock speeds up to 96 MHz with turboSPOT®, and are architected to serve both as an application processor and as a sensor hub for a wide range of endpoint devices. The platform integrates ultra‑low‑power memory, rich peripheral interfaces, and flexible power modes, making it suitable for always‑on and duty‑cycled applications.

The Apollo3 product portfolio includes multiple variants to address different design requirements. These include the Apollo330 Plus SoC Series for higher‑performance edge and AI‑enabled applications, Apollo3 Blue Plus for designs requiring increased memory and security, Apollo3 Blue and Apollo3 Blue Thin for connected devices with integrated Bluetooth® Low Energy, and Apollo3 for ultra‑low‑power, non‑wireless applications. Across the family, Apollo3 devices support advanced security features through secureSPOT®, enabling secure boot, firmware updates, and data protection.

With its combination of ultra‑low power operation, scalable performance, integrated connectivity options, and robust security, the Apollo3 family provides a flexible foundation for wearables, smart home devices, medical electronics, industrial edge products, and consumer IoT applications.
