A question was asked yesterday about the scope of work/complexity of a customer moving from an ArcticLink III BX design to an ArcticLink III VX design. This chart provides an easy primer (click to embiggen) As you can see, the scope of work is not great. The pinouts are identical, meaning there are no (read: […]
On the BX….
As Andy Pease mentioned in our Q3 2012 earnings call just now, QuickLogic has formally announced the ArcticLink III BX family of devices for display bridging applications. As a bit of background, which is familiar to those who attended the call, a customer decision to use a display bridge device is made very early in […]
Greetings From Miami
As you may have seen in our press release, some of us are down here in Miami at the MIPI Alliance meeting. We are at the demo day function, showing the ArcticLink III demonstration board running a 720p MIPI display (using the VX3B2B), as well as the Pantech phone with the ArcticLink II device with […]
VEE, Contrast Ratio, and Reflections…
We’ve preached ad nauseum here on QuickLogic HotSpot about VEE and its ability to increase viewability on displays. We’ve showed pictures and videos, and many of our faithful readers have been able to experience VEE in person on various production smartphones/tablets/pico projectors or on our demo systems. Viewing is easy to prove…but how about quantifying […]
On Orion
Today we announced another solution for the Texas Instruments Sitara line, our Orion reference solution. Much like the Beagle Bone CAM I/F solution we announced a few weeks ago, our Orion solution allows OEMs using the Sitara platform to expand the capabilities of their systems through alternative connectivity interfaces. The Orion solution allows for connectivity […]
How the ArcticLink III VX MIPI2 to MIPI4 Enables Lower-cost 720p Displays
Of the 13 different silicon variants of the ArcticLink III VX devices, the one that gets the most questions is the VX3B2F, or the MIPI 2-lane to MIPI 4-lane bridge with VEE and DPO. In particular, we are asked ‘why would a customer need this?’ Here’s why: Often in the smartphone market, OEMs ramp to […]
From the TI Forum
A few (admittedly low quality) photographs from today’s TI Tech Forum in San Jose. This is the QuickLogic table, demonstrating the CAM I/F Camera Cape capabilities. […]
Find Yourself in San Jose on 8/23?
Then (in my best Rod Roddy voice) “come on down” to the TI Technology Day at the Fairmont Hotel from 8AM to 3:30 PM. We will be showing the BeagleBone reference design, our latest CSSP solution featuring the CAM I/F interface.

BeagleBone Camera Cape Links
Back today with a few quick links related to our recent TI BeagleBone announcement. The good folks at Engadget were nice enough to mention Camera Cape as one of the most attractive accessory boards for the BeagleBone development system. We are very excited about CSSP-based CAM I/F solution and how this extends QuickLogic’s connectivity solutions […]
Dual SIM Phones: How QuickLogic Can Help
Most of today’s smartphones use SIM cards to identify a subscriber, as well as to store personal data such as phone numbers and text messages. We’re probably all familiar with the little electronic card that the person behind the counter sticks into a new phone we buy at the carrier, or from moving it to […]
