• Eclipse II FPGAs enable the highest performance at the lowest power for Digital Video Extender application

QuickLogic Corporation (Nasdaq: QUIK), the pioneer of Embedded Standard Products (ESPs), today announced that the company’s Eclipse II family of ultra low power FPGAs was selected by Inova® Semiconductors for use in their Digital Video Interface (DVI) Extender application. The design, using Inova Semiconductors’ GigaSTaR (Gigabit Serial Transmit and Receive) technology, replaces countless analog solutions currently being employed today in the digital visualization and infotainment systems market. This large, emerging market segment is stimulated by the continued cost reductions seen in the Flat Panel display market.

“QuickLogic enabled us to connect our GigaSTaR Digital Display Link (DDL) product to the Digital Video Interface (DVI) commonly used in High Definition (HD) plasma monitors and displays,” says Axel Krepil, Sales and Marketing Director at Inova Semiconductors. “The Eclipse II FPGA we designed with combined gigabit/s performance and milliwatt power consumption, allowing us to deliver products to the rapidly growing digital consumer market by enabling our customers to transmit HD-quality video up to 50 meters and beyond of standard, low-cost CAT5 cabling.”

“Our Eclipse II FPGAs continue to establish the industry benchmark for lowest power consumption without sacrificing performance,” says Brian Faith, Senior Director of Product Marketing at QuickLogic Corporation. “This enables our customers to bring high performance applications, such as digital video and wireless communications to new low power platforms. We are pleased that Inova Semiconductors has chosen Eclipse II FPGAs to play a key role in their application due to the intrinsic benefits of our architecture.”

About Eclipse II

QuickLogic’s Eclipse II uWatt family of ultra-low power FPGAs combines the enhanced features of next-generation FPGA devices with power consumption lower than that available with CPLDs. Eclipse II features include densities up to 320,000 system gates, up to 55,000 bits of on-chip dual-port SRAM, and standby currents as low at 14uA.
