Edge AI Devices

Passive Cooling Can’t Keep Up with Edge AI

µCooling powers ultra-thin, compact Edge AI devices with high-performance compute, increased power density, and advanced AI capabilities. 

AI Glasses

First in-module active cooling small enough to embed inside 400G, 800G, and 1.6T optical transceivers.

Smartphones & Tablets

Delivers hyper-localized active cooling directly to NAND flash and controller ICs from within the SSD itself.

SSDs for Laptops and Handheld PCs

Addresses hotspots in space-constrained edge deployments where liquid cooling is impractical.

Enabling Next-Gen AI Glasses

See how µCooling delivers an immediate temperature drop and up to 30°C ΔT versus passive cooling.

How µCooling Works

01 Piezoelectric Actuation

Thin-film piezoelectric material deposited on silicon expands and contracts at ultrasonic frequencies, converting electrical energy into mechanical motion.

02 Air Pulse Generation

Membranes vibrate above human hearing range, creating continuous high-velocity air pulses through precision micro-valve arrays on the chip.

03 Directed Airflow

Top-venting or side-venting packages direct cool air onto heat sources, or through isolated channels thermally coupled to target components.

04 Heat Dissipation

Localized forced convection dissipates heat from hotspots, sustaining component performance and extending hardware lifespan.
