You might have seen the press release that we issued this morning regarding Nations Technologies (a leader in China’s IC design industry) selecting our ArcticPro eFPGA for their next-generation low power IoT SoC. This press release reflects the formalization of the relationship we mentioned during our last earnings call. In that call, we discussed signing […]
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 […]
We are very pleased to announce that we recently moved our headquarters into a shiny, new office space. We’re still located in Silicon Valley, of course, just a few miles away from our previous location in Sunnyvale. Our new address is 2220 Lundy Ave, San Jose, CA 95131. These new offices were recently remodeled to […]
Recently Apple introduced a new second-generation version of their popular AirPods wireless headphones. These headphones not only deliver a great audio experience, but they now offer enhanced hands-free voice-controlled features. Specifically, a new chip design dramatically improves talk time through lower power consumption leading to longer battery life. It also gives users the ability to […]
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 […]
You might have seen the exciting announcement we made this morning regarding immediate availability of our new Merced EOS™ S3AI Hardware Development Kit (HDK), which enables quick and easy development of endpoint Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) applications. This new kit includes everything an endpoint application developer might need, including QuickLogic’s EOS S3AI […]
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 […]
188,00 industry professionals – the most ever – turned up at the 2019 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas to see and touch the latest, the greatest and sometimes the weirdest consumer products. From smart home devices to drones, to futuristic cars to the plant based “impossible burger”, there was a lot to see […]
The primary application for QuickLogic’s EOS S3 Ultra-Low Power Voice and Sensor Platform is mobile, battery-powered devices that require both always-on wake word detection and extended battery life. As recently as a year ago, if anyone told me there would be a compelling use-case for wall powered devices I wouldn’t have believed it, or at […]
In our November quarterly conference call we forecasted that we would report our first material revenue for QuickAI in Q4 2018; several quarters ahead of the outlook we provided in May. This led to numerous questions from QuickLogic investors that we could not answer at the time due to the NDA with our customer. We […]
