Wearable chip startup Ineda said the company raised $17 million in financing, including Qualcomm and Samsung Electronics. Ineda designs low-power chips for smartwatches and other wearable computing devices. The company completed $10 million in Series B financing last December. Investors also include Qualcomm and Samsung. Today, Ineda Systems, a startup that designs low-power chips for wearable devices such as smart watches, announced on Tuesday that it has received a total of $17 million in Series B financing, including semiconductor giants Qualcomm and Samsung Electronics. Ineda has offices in Hyderabad, India, and Santa Clara, Calif., which employs 180 people who will use the funds to develop ultra-low power chips that can be used for one month without charging. The variety of smart watches released in the past year has been widely criticized for the lack of power: like smartphones, these products often need to be recharged every day. “In today's market, everyone is using smart phone technology to develop smart watches. This can only produce excellent products, but it can't make breakthrough products,†said Ineda chairman Sanjay Jha. Sanjay Jia has served as CEO of Motorola Mobility and Qualcomm COO. He was appointed CEO of chip foundry GlobalFoundries in January and is widely respected in the chip industry. Ineda is providing customers with samples of wearable processor units and plans to ship in bulk in the second half of this year. Qualcomm is the leader in today's mobile chip industry, which has been developing its own wearable device components and even launched its own Toq smart watch. Qualcomm is also supporting Google's recently announced AndroidWear smartwatch platform, but the chip used is the Opteron processor originally designed for smartphones. A Qualcomm spokesperson said: "Our investment in Ineda has once again proved that we will cooperate and expand in the wearable ecosystem." AC power supply is a kind of power supply that converts the input mains or DC input into a pure sine wave output after AC-DC-AC or DC-AC conversion. The ideal AC power supply is characterized by stable frequency, stable voltage, zero internal resistance and pure sine wave output voltage wave (without distortion). Mainly used for power grid simulation tests conducted by various electrical appliance manufacturers on electrical appliances according to the voltage/frequency requirements of different countries, various AC motors, AC transformers, aircraft & mechanical equipment and other electronic devices that require pure, regulated and frequency-stabilized output.

Our AC power supply mainly includes three types
1. AC Power Supplies converting the input mains AC by AC-DC-AC, output voltage and frequency are stable and adjustable with pure sine wave output waveform, so called: Variable Frequency AC Power Supplies.
2. AC Power Supplies converting the DC output of the battery and other DC equipment by DC-AC, giving an AC sinusoidal output with stable output voltage and frequency. so called: Inversion AC Power Supplies.
3. AC Power Supplies converting the input mains AC by AC-DC-AC, giving a variable voltage AC output at constant 400Hz output frequency ultra-high output frequency stability. so called: Intermediate Frequency AC Power Supplies.
4. According to the difference in the number of output phases, the AC Power Supplies can be divided into single-phase output AC power supplies and three-phase output AC power supplies.
Different from Variac and AC voltage regulators, our AC power supplies support the setting of output voltage and frequency and has superior high precision, high stability, and high efficiency stable frequency AC output, not only for AC power conversion but also for AC high precision test purpose.
Through the friendly operation panel, you can read the output data such as output voltage, output current, output power, power factor, etc., providing accurate data records for your test, and can add RS485 interfaces as standard, following the MODBUS-RTU international communication protocol, which can realize remote control and operating status monitoring of the power supplies.
Our AC Power Supplies have comprehensive protection functions, such as: over voltage, over current, over temperature and short circuit protections, which can protect the AC power supplies and DUT from damages.
