Today we announced another in a line of designs with our good friends at Kyocera. Building on our VEE and DPO designs with them, we’ve expanded into the connectivity realm to integrate a CSSP featuring inter-processor communication technology. A high-level view of the technology is found here, with an earlier blog written back in July […]

On the 13 Variants of the ArcticLink III VX…
The question arose today of alternative input/output architectures the ArcticLink III VX that aren’t explicitly listed. First, let’s start by listing the 13 variants Click the chart to embiggen I should also note that the interfaces which the customer requires are determined by their choice of processor and display–while we’ve address this ad nauseum before, […]
On the Snapdragon…
Welcome back to QuickLogic HotSpot. QuickLogic announced today that we now have a daughter card available that connects to the DragonBoard (based on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Processors). Our card accepts the MIPI-DSI output of the DragonBoard. It embeds a QuickLogic ArcticLink III VX5 CSSP device that converts the MIPI-DSI signal to LVDS. As it’s a VX device, […]
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 […]
