Arctic Sand HQ & Design Center - Burlington, MA


​About Us


Arctic Sand was founded in 2011 and funded in 2013 to bring game changing power conversion semiconductors to market, based on technology born at 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 roadmaps are focused on power conversion for LED display backlighting and powering microprocessors and memory 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.

Our Technology

Picture
Arctic Sand technology is based on exclusively-licensed MIT patents co-authored by Arctic Sand’s founder and Chief Scientist David Giuliano and many new Arctic Sand issued and filed patents and inventions.  We call this technology TIPS™ – Transformative Integrated Power Solutions - a patented architecture that uniquely enables ultra-low profile solutions with industry-leading power conversion efficiency  - addressing major pain points in all major markets and applications.
