CurrentRF

Founded in 2003 by Michael Hopkins, CurrentRF is driven by the innovative notion that current mode signal processing can achieve greater spectral purity and efficiency over traditional voltage mode methods. Initially established as a research-focused organization, the company set out to pioneer new digital signal processing techniques, leading to the creation of technologies like the RFDAC and the Current Re-use Mixer. As the company evolved, it discovered novel forms of energy inherent in digital signal processing circuits, shaping its transition into a business that provides cutting-edge power optimization solutions.\n\nCurrentRF operates out of Granada Hills, California, and has carved a niche in the semiconductor industry by focusing on energy-efficient technologies. It offers products that are designed to recover and recycle previously unused energy within systems, aligning with modern demands for sustainability and energy conservation. The firm's innovations cater to an array of applications, from enhancing the driving range of electric vehicles to optimizing power in digital and mixed-signal ICs.\n\nUnderpinning CurrentRF's technology is the belief in harvesting "unreachable" system energy. This led to the development of products like the PowerStic and Exodus USB devices, which reduce power consumption by recovering waste energy in computing systems. By aligning their capabilities with market needs, CurrentRF provides practical solutions that not only promise cost savings but also extend the operational life of electronic systems, promoting a more sustainable technological landscape.

CC-100 Power Optimizer

The CC-100 Power Optimizer forms the core of CurrentRF's energy harvesting technology, crucial for the PowerStic and Exodus devices. It intercepts digital noise currents in systems and reroutes this wasted energy back into the system, thus enhancing power efficiency and prolonging battery life by up to 40%. Suitable for incorporation into existing ICs, this technology helps reduce the overall power consumption of digital chips, making it ideal for eco-conscious designs in both consumer electronics and expansive data centers.
