SoC Developers, You Have Our Full Support
You might have seen our recent announcement regarding the fact that we’re opening an eFPGA support center in Taiwan. The reason this announcement is so significant is that it demonstrates the depth of our commitment to eFPGA technology for SoC developers. We’ve already spoken at length about the benefits of embedding FPGA logic in SoCs, […]
Embedded Programmability (Finally) Comes of Age
The widely fragmented nature of the IoT market is creating new challenges for SoC companies that cannot be effectively addressed with the design approaches used in the mobile markets. As is the case in mobile markets, SoCs need to be optimized for low power consumption and low cost. However, given the vast diversity of products […]
It’s Good to Be Understood – The Always Listening Home
The dream of having a truly “smart” home has finally started to materialize in a meaningful way. One aspect of the smart home concept which has been severely underestimated until very recently, though, is the emergence of voice-activated systems and their ability to make sense of spoken commands and requests from humans. Speech is a primary […]
Solving the SoC Design Dilemma for IoT Applications
According to market research firm Markets&Markets, the opportunity for Internet of Things (IoT) devices is expected to reach $11B by 2022. That’s a short five years away. Already we are beginning to see IoT showing up in our everyday lives for such applications as home automation, security, and personal fitness – and the vast majority […]
QuickLogic’s New Partnership with GLOBALFOUNDRIES Brings Big Benefits

Great Press Coverage of our Recent ArcticPro eFPGA Announcement
We were very pleased to get a high level of interest and attention from the technical and business press when we made our recent ArcticPro™ embedded FPGA announcement. The amount of coverage we received affirms our belief that this announcement represents a significant milestone for the semiconductor industry as a whole, and SoC developers in […]
The “Everywhere” FPGA
We just announced our new ArcticPro™ eFPGA initiative. While the “e” stands for “embedded”, it could just as easily stand for “everywhere”, as this program makes our latest FPGA technology available as an IP block to other companies designing SoC devices for the GLOBALFOUNDRIES’ 22FDX process, as well as their 65nm and 40nm process nodes. […]
From the SensorsExpo 2015….
Greetings from an unseasonably cool and damp Long Beach, CA. We’re in day #2 of the SensorsExpo 2015, showing our TAG, TAG-N, ArcticLink 3 S2 smartphone demo, the ArcticLink 3 S2 LP, as well as having a number of interesting conversations around our recently-announced SenseMe™ licensing. The general reaction here has been great; we’ve talked […]
SenseMe — Our Platform or Yours…
Greetings! As we discussed briefly in the Q1 Earnings Call, yesterday we announced that our SenseMe™ sensor algorithm suite is now available for licensing. This allows QuickLogic to not only sell our ArcticLink 3 S2 silicon platform with SenseMe, but to also license SenseMe to customers who may have an existing sensor hub in their […]
