AmberSemi Named as a Finalist in the Prestigious 2023 Edison Awards™

DUBLIN, Calif., (Feb. 9 2023)— Amber Semiconductor, Inc. (AmberSemi™), a leading technology developer of patented, innovative technologies for AC Direct digital management of electricity in silicon chip architecture, today announced that it has officially been named a finalist in the 2023 Edison Awards. AmberSemi is being honored in the Engineering & Robotics category for its patented discoveries in electricity, specifically the Digital Control of Electricity in a Silicon Chip. The Edison Awards™, named after the American inventor Thomas Alva Edison, recognizes some of the most innovative products and business leaders in the world with past winners including Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, General Motors and Genentech. The prestigious accolades honor excellence in new product and service development, marketing, design and innovation.

AmberSemi celebrates Thomas Edison’s legacy each day by leading the charge towards what the company fondly refers to as the “second electrical revolution.” AmberSemi’s core mission is to transform the electrical product power management architecture from outdated, 1950’s-era technologies to smaller, safer, and smarter silicon chips – a full-blown overhaul of silicon-based, arc-free electricity management and sensing. AmberSemi’s breakthroughs are rooted in three primary, patented discoveries for superior, intelligent control of electricity: digitization of electricity for DC power delivery (AC Direct DC Enabler™), power control and protection (Indestructible AC Switch Controller™) and real-time, continuous sensing of the state or variance of electricity (AC Direct Sensing™).

“Being awarded as a finalist by the Edison Awards is incredibly meaningful for AmberSemi, as it reinforces the goal we set out to achieve when our company was founded: to champion the innovation of Thomas Edison by continuing to revolutionize the way electricity is delivered to people everywhere,”  said Thar Casey, CEO of Amber Semiconductor. “Digital control of electricity in silicon chip architecture represents a generational opportunity to upgrade the electrical endpoints in virtually every building in the world, delivering a smarter, safer, and vastly more efficient technological solution to sectors that are overdue for change. It’s validating to be recognized for these efforts.”

Recognition from the Edison Awards also arrives during a period of strong momentum for AmberSemi, which is currently accelerating its business objectives for 2023 and beyond. Just last fall, AmberSemi was chosen as one of Fast Company’s “Next Big Thing in Tech,” and was unanimously voted in for membership to the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), an exclusive organization that serves as the leading voice of the electroindustry. This year, AmberSemi is finalizing forthcoming partnership engagements and strategic alignments with some of the most significant manufacturers of electrical products and semiconductor components in both the US and European markets. As a fabless semiconductor company, AmberSemi will provide its three core technologies via its own solid-state, silicon chips. With AmberSemi’s technology, electrical products companies can benefit from smaller, safer, more reliable electricity architectures that enable a dramatic increase in functionality, while maintaining the same universal form factors prevalent in the market, such as single gang boxes and retrofit circuit breakers. Simultaneously, semiconductor companies benefit from an acceleration of their current business through dynamic power management and sensing.

All nominations are reviewed by the Edison Awards Steering Committee with the final ballot being determined by an independent judging panel. The panel is comprised of more than 3,000 senior business executives and academics from the fields of product development, design, engineering, science, marketing and education, as well as past winners. Gold, Silver and Bronze winners will be announced at the Edison Awards Gala on Thursday, April 20, 2023 in Fort Myers, FL.
