North Shore InnoVentures grad, Arctic Sand, voted one of EE Times “Silicon 60 – Hot Startups to Watch” announced in February, 2016, completion of a $19M Series B Financing round. The company, headquartered in Burlington MA, has the industry-leading ARC1C0608 LED boost converter – the most efficient thinnest and smallest LED driver IC on the market for tablet / mobile computing applications. In March, 2016, Arctic Sand launched its ARC1C0608 IC – a ‘triple-play’ delivering industry leading power conversion efficiency, in the lowest ‘z’ height profile and smallest footprint in the industry. The ARC1C0608 is an LED driver that is so efficient that it is able to save 0.5W (in a typical 2 W host platform) when deployed in backlights for tablets and other smart mobile devices, thus enabling a new generation of low power, long battery life, ultra-thin devices.
