In every home, ancient technologies lurk, threatening fire and ruin. While many devices—lights, TVs, and hard drives, for example—have adopted solid state technologies, power bricks still use ageing electromechanical systems.

AmberSemi’s AC Direct DC Enabler is a fabless semiconductor system that replaces these bricks. At home, that means smaller, safer ways of connecting DC devices to AC main power. But the technology could also benefit industrial users and data centres. In factories, low power controls and high power motors can now be safely managed from one connection; in data centres, cascading circuit failures can be predicted and prevented before they happen.

AmberSemi’s innovations have met with an enthusiastic response from semiconductor companies and electrical manufacturers. It promises to transform power systems and controls, across residential, commercial, digital and industrial applications. And, working with partners including ST Micro and Nordic Semiconductor, it is bringing its solid state ideas into commercial reality.
