Embedded vs Discrete…
A great question submitted in the Q&A feature: Can a QUIK CSSP (i.e. AL BX or VX) be imbedded in a Application Processor (AP), or would it always be a stand-alone chip on a board? Note the following from an ifixit teardown which leads me to believe vendor chips can be imbedded in the AP: […]
A Free-Forum Question Answered…
Using the new Q&A feature I blogged about here, and which you can also see (and use) just to down and to the right of this text, the following was submitted by a long-time reader I read Andy’s interview with NewElectronics, and I am interested in Andy’s guarded comment about TI being interested in DPO […]
USB to SDIO, the Latest Catalog CSSP
Greetings! QuickLogic today announced our latest Catalog CSSP (#4, by my count), the USB-to-SDIO solution. In short, this Catalog CSSP enables the translation of USB to SDIO, meant for use in systems whose processors are either SDIO-port limited or don’t even have SDIO ports.

Catalog CSSP #2: VEE-Pico
For those who read our announcement today, you know that we have released our second Catalog CSSP, the VEE-Pico. While QuickLogic is certainly not new to the pico market (see PoP Video, iPico, others), the VEE-Pico represents our first standard product for OEMs of accessory, stand-alone, and embedded projectors.

Enter the Catalog CSSP…
Today we announced an exciting new line of products from QuickLogic, the Catalog CSSP line. Rather than me blab on for (seemingly) hours, I’ll instead go right to questions that we’ve received when introducing this concept to customers and members of the press: Q: What is the difference between a catalog CSSP and […]
Supporting On-board and External Displays in a One Output World
With the recent rise of popularity of adding MHL or HDMI interfaces to tablets, already-overburdened system designs now face another challenge—how to integrate a secondary video output into a system designed to support only the on-board display? This is a huge challenge, primarily so based on (1) the number of concurrent outputs that CPU’s generally […]
