Ambarella

Ambarella, Inc. is an American semiconductor company that designs low-power system-on-a-chip (SoC) solutions for video capture, processing, and machine vision. Its products target cameras and vision-enabled devices across consumer, security, automotive, and industrial markets. The company is known for integrating image sensors, video encoders/decoders, and computer-vision processing on a single chip, enabling features such as high-resolution video capture and real-time analytics in embedded devices.

Founded in 2004, Ambarella went public in 2012 and is listed on the NASDAQ under the ticker AMBA. The company is headquartered in Santa Clara, California, with development facilities around the world. Ambarella's technology centers on its CVflow architecture, a family of vision-oriented processors designed to run neural networks and other vision algorithms efficiently, while maintaining low power consumption.

Applications include action cameras, drones, security and surveillance cameras, and automotive systems featuring advanced driver-assistance and driver-monitoring capabilities. Ambarella provides both hardware IP and software stacks, including development tools and reference designs, to original equipment manufacturers and system integrators.

In the competitive landscape, Ambarella competes with other embedded-vision and AIoT processor providers. Its emphasis on energy efficiency and integrated video processing has positioned it as a supplier for popular camera and smart-sensor configurations, even as the market evolves toward autonomous and connected devices.
