Scientists in multiple fields and geographies around the globe have identified climate change as one of the world’s most pressing issues. As the earth warms, we will all be affected, some more so than others. This challenge is so large and widespread that there isn’t a single solution. Instead, we need a lot of bright […]
We unveiled our QuickLogic Open Reconfigurable Computing (QORC) initiative in a June press release and added some background in our blog post titled “Tipping Point”. With this bold step, QuickLogic is the first Programmable Logic company to provide full open-source access to FPGA design and verification tools. The purpose of this blog post is to […]
The internet of things has made it easier for us to set up a smart home that offers additional security. A lot of us rest easier knowing that we’ll be alerted if a window or a door is opened. How about when an intruder breaks a glass window or door? Yes, there are alarm systems […]
This week at CES, QuickLogic and Infineon will showcase the FLEXino Sensor Fusion Development Kit from global supply chain and manufacturing company Flex. This kit includes a sensor fusion daughter board which features QuickLogic’s EOS S3 SoC ultra-low power voice and sensor processing platform along with Infineon’s DPS310 digital barometric pressure sensor and IM69D130 digital […]
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 […]
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 […]
Smartphones with integrated sensors have really helped drive down the cost and power consumption of sensor-based solutions. Lower cost and lower power sensor-based solutions have, in turn, enabled the “Internet of Things” (IoT) market to become established. However, IoT applications are different than smartphone applications in many ways. One of the most important is how […]
