The Benefits of eFPGA Technology Hopefully by now it is becoming obvious that embedding FPGA IP into SoC designs can provide tremendous benefits to the company building the SoC. Adding a customized programmable fabric gives developers a level of post-manufacturing flexibility they could only have dreamed about in an earlier time. Just a few of […]
Those of you working on the front lines of system development know that the Covid-19 pandemic has brought on a host of global supply chain problems. As consumers we felt it first with bathroom paper products, but eventually the supply challenges rippled through to semiconductors – making it difficult for those selling systems dependent on […]
Welcome to 2022, everyone. I’m really excited by the potential it holds as all the work we’ve been putting in over the last few years starts coming to fruition. While those efforts resulted in many new initiatives and products for the company, I’d like to take a minute to highlight a handful of the most […]
(Updated at 9:00 a.m., PT) As 2021 draws to a close, I wanted to take some time to reflect on the past year and all that we have accomplished. I would also like to express my gratitude for all the hard work that went into those efforts and highlight how they have set the stage […]
SparkFun, the Open-Source FPGA Foundation (OSFPGA) and QuickLogic are teaming up to sponsor a new contest based on the SparkFun QuickLogic Thing Plus – EOS S3 development kit. This tiny but incredibly capable platform combines SparkFun’s Thing Plus form factor and Qwicc® connect system with QuickLogic’s EOS S3 multicore MCU, embedded FPGA, and QuickLogic Open […]
On September 8th of this year, we announced the release of our new Australis™ eFPGA IP Generator tool, touting its ability to quickly generate custom eFPGA IP, optimized for power, performance and area, for nearly any foundry/process node combination. Now, a short seven weeks later, we are announcing the first customer success story in which […]
Several Key Challenges Facing Our Industry We are at a unique inflection point in the semiconductor industry. On one hand, the physical manifestation of Moore’s Law has given us devices with amazing capabilities. On the other hand, as an industry we are struggling to continue down that path as power consumption, density and other physical […]
A little over a year ago, I wrote a blog article called “The Tipping Point”. It was focused on the recent announcement of our QuickLogic Open Reconfigurable Computing (QORC) initiative and the reasons why I thought it made a lot of sense for QuickLogic to embrace open source development tools and platforms. At the time […]
A huge congratulations to the winners of the Challenge Climate Change contest! Our thanks to all the participants. We had six winners who came up with the best ideas for applications using QuickLogic’s Open Source QuickFeather Development Kit and SensiML’s Analytics Studio Toolkit to create smart IoT solutions to help tackle climate change. Best Battery-Powered […]
Earlier today, we announced that QuickLogic has joined the Open Source FPGA (OSFPGA) Foundation as a Founding and Premier Member. The mission of this new foundation is to expand the market for, and accelerate the adoption of programmable logic, by uniting the efforts of companies, universities, and individuals worldwide. The foundation will also provide a […]
