CurrentRF

CurrentRF, founded in 2003 by Michael Hopkins, thrives on the principle that current mode signal processing offers cleaner spectral characteristics and consumes less power compared to its voltage mode counterparts. Initially, the company focused on research, developing groundbreaking techniques such as the RFDAC and the Current Re-use Mixer. Over the years, CurrentRF has discovered new forms of energy embedded in digital signal processing circuits, which has significantly contributed to their array of innovative products. One of the standout offerings from CurrentRF is their energy harvesting technology, exemplified by their PowerStic and Exodus devices. These devices cleverly capture and recycle wasted energy in computer systems, contributing to power savings and extending battery life. When plugged into any USB port, they operate independently of USB functions, turning otherwise wasted energy into potential savings in energy costs. This approach has made them a valuable asset for data centers and individual users alike. CurrentRF also addresses the automotive sector with products like the Mileage Booster, which enhances fuel efficiency by recycling electrical noise in vehicles. The Mileage Booster is applicable to a variety of vehicle types, including electric, diesel, and hybrid models, helping to increase mileage per gallon, thereby showcasing the versatility and effectiveness of their technology across industries.
