What is ViaLink?

ViaLink is the patented technology that serves as the foundation for the customizable building block technology used in all QuickLogic silicon platforms and products. ViaLinks are electrically programmable, enabling QuickLogic and our customers to quickly customize all of our platforms and products, within minutes, to meet customer-specific requirements. Since ViaLinks are based on a standard ASIC via using standard ASIC via design rules, ViaLink technology is manufactured as part of the bulk CMOS logic processes at our foundry partners Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) and Tower Semiconductor Limited (TSL).
