Ambiq was founded in 2010 as a spin-off from the University of Michigan with a charter to commercialize circuits with sub-treshold voltage operation of transistors. The company launched its Apollo family of Cortex-M4F based microcontrollers (MCUs) in January 2015 claiming they could reduce power consumption to between 20 and 10 percent of that of competitors’ comparable MCUs. The Apollo MCUs operate at voltages from 3.8V down to 0.5V.

The company has been aiming the devices at such applications as wearable equipment, nodes for the Internet of Things and portable medical electronics.

Noonen has been a director of the company for a year. Noonen is a director at a few other semiconductor companies and is a co-founder of Silicon Catalyst LLC (San Jose, Calif.), a mentoring and networking company formed in 2014 with plans to focus on incubating semiconductor startups.
