Since our financial results call on November 6, I have been asked a few times to further clarify the business potential related to the “mega-cap company” I referred to during the call. Given this important topic, I determined it would be worthwhile to share more context here in the form of a public blog. For […]

We filed a preliminary proxy statement today with the SEC that outlines the steps we must take to maintain our compliance for trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market if our stock does not close with at least a $1.00 bid price for ten consecutive trading days by January 13, 2020. The timing of today’s filing […]
I am often asked about the differences between ASICs, FPGAs, and ASIC-with-embedded FPGA (eFPGA) blocks and so I thought I would devote a blog article to that topic. Here goes… Once upon a time, there were ASICs (“Application Specific Integrated Circuits”, for the uninitiated). These were (and are) semiconductor devices designed to implement a very […]

Back in August of last year we announced a collaboration with one of the top technical universities in Europe – ETH in Zurich, Switzerland. They were building a unique open-source SoC-based platform called “PULP”, which is short for “Parallel Ultra Low Power”. This platform is based on the concept of combining multiple RISC-V cores, each […]

The first industrial revolution started in roughly the middle of the 18th century and ran for about a hundred years. The key elements of that revolution were the transition from hand-made to machine-crafted goods (especially textiles) and water and later steam-powered machinery. The second industrial revolution started around the mid-1800s and lasted into the first […]

When GLOBALFOUNDRIES announced the introduction of a brand-new process technology “developed specifically to meet the ultra-low power requirements of the next generation of connected devices” (as they stated in their announcement’s press release), we knew that it would be a great fit for our ArcticPro™ 2 architecture, and in particular our embedded FPGA (eFPGA) technology […]

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has burst onto the consumer scene in a big way over the last few years. Now most of us have smartphones and smart speakers which allow us to ask natural language questions or make requests and (at least most of the time) get appropriate and useful responses. This technology is very likely […]
Earlier today we filed an 8-K with the SEC announcing the completion of a secondary public offering. As is noted in the filing, the net proceeds from the offering, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, and exclusive of any funds raised in the future via the cash exercise of warrants, […]

Murata, a leading Japanese electronic supplier, recently demonstrated its low power wi-fi smart speaker reference design using a small smart home model at the IoT/M2M show in Japan. Using the Murata remote control, users could issue a command such as “Please turn on the 1st floor light.” The smart speaker would then control the house […]
