Custom Programmable Logic (eFPGAs and FPGAs) for Mission-Critical Applications

Contact Us

QuickLogic provides a uniquely flexible architecture to explore the trade-offs between power, performance, and area. We offer the ability to configure the number of LUTs vs BRAMs vs DSPs. We deliver custom programmable logic solutions – embedded FPGAs (eFPGAs) and FPGAs/chiplets with the corresponding FPGA user tool.

Capabilities

Experts in Programmable Logic – 30 years making FPGA devices for defense applications.

Architecture Definition

Selecting an architecture that meets the mission requirements for performance, power, and area.

Routability

FPGA designs need to be placed and routed in the programmable logic device. Determining the optimal amount of routing channels proportionate to LUTs/BRAMs/DSPs is critical.

eFPGA IP or FPGA Devices?

QuickLogic can do both! You can select eFPGA IP if you are building your own SoC, or let us handle the design, verification, production, and the supply chain for finished FPGA devices.

eFPGA/FPGA User Tools

The Aurora Development Tool Suite is based on a fully open-source implementation for scalability, longevity, and full code transparency.

Proven Design Flow

QuickLogic’s Australis eFPGA IP Generator uses proven standard cell libraries for the target process including specialized libraries such as RHBD, automotive, and more.

Customized security

QuickLogic works with partners in the security for bitstream encryption, hardware root of trust, and many customized security implementations to meet the mission requirements.

Made in the USA

QuickLogic is a publicly traded company (Nasdaq: QUIK) with all research and development taking place in the USA, and the company is fully ITAR compliant.

Experience in Defense

Trusted by military and defense prime contractors for land, sea, air, and space applications. Our technology has been production proven across numerous process nodes in multiple foundries.
