Current RF

Founded in 2003 by Michael Hopkins, Current RF operates on the innovative principle that processing signals in current mode is more power-efficient and cleaner than traditional voltage mode methods. Initially, the company focused on development based research, designing a novel DAC upconversion technique known as the RFDAC and its derivative, the Current Re-use Mixer. By 2008, Current RF had identified a novel form of energy inherent within digital signal processing circuits, leading to a paradigm shift in their approach. Today, Current RF focuses on delivering semiconductor IP solutions that intercept energy previously inaccessible in Digital Signal Processing circuits. This pioneering technology is incorporated into products like the CC-100 IC, which offers energy harvesting and dynamic power reduction capabilities, thereby extending device and battery life. Current RF's technology also supports the reduction of RF emissions and enhances cybersecurity in integrated circuits. Their solutions, such as the PowerStic and Exodus devices, enable energy savings by harvesting and recycling waste energy in data systems and feeding it back into the system, thus lowering system power consumption. These innovations provide substantial returns in energy savings, particularly in networked environments, while contributing to power optimization strategies globally. With a commitment to reducing carbon footprints and promoting energy efficiency, Current RF stands at the forefront of semiconductor IP design, offering a range of services and solutions tailored to meet the needs of IC and EV designers concerned with power consumption and efficiency.
