Cambridge, MA-based Arctic-Sand-Technologies Appointed Steve Allen as Vice President Sales & Marketing
About the Company
Arctic Sand was founded in 2011 to bring game changing power conversion semiconductors to market, based on technology developed by MIT. Our products offer significant improvements in power conversion efficiency, transient performance and EMI, in footprints 2-4x smaller than the best in class competitors today and with a significantly lower profile, enabling smaller, thinner, lighter and more power efficient products to be realized. Our initial product roadmap is focused on power conversion for LED display backlighting and microprocessors for mobile applications such as smartphones, tablets and Ultrabooks. Our technology is highly flexible and will soon be applied to broader applications such as Servers, Storage and Networking, and integrated within processors and ASICs.
