Effective Logic Cells — Why All Logic Cells Aren’t the Same

Way back in October, we blogged about the differences between our logic cell design and that of competitors in the mobile programmable logic space.  I thought I’d take some time to revisit the topic, and go more in depth as to what advantages this offers mobile OEMs. For comparisons sake, let’s compare QuickLogic against a […]

5 Things for Mid-February

(1) Mobile World Congress is right around the corner…let us know if you’re going to be there! (2) With the incredible amount of sensor applications being discussed (for instance, these, this one, and these), it’s obvious that the algorithm requirements are going to continue to grow and diversify.  Given that, the idea of an ASIC-based […]

The PolarPro 3 Arrives…

With the announcement of the ArcticLink 3 S1 last week, perhaps some people missed the concurrent announcement of our new programmable logic device, the PolarPro 3 silicon platform. As Andy Pease succinctly pointed out during the product introduction presentation, our ViaLink-based non-volatile programmable logic technology has served QuickLogic quite well for many years, allowing us […]

Sensor Hubs: Why Power Matters

One point we’ve constantly made about our new Sensor Hub line is that we consume significantly less power than competing solutions — in fact, we are 1/30 the power of existing microcontrollers.   However, a lot of people have asked, and likely will ask: how big of a deal is low power?  We think its a […]

Some “Context” on Sensor Definitions

With our exciting announcement today of our ArcticLink 3 S1 and PolarPro 3 solutions, I thought it would be proper to provide some terms that followers of QuickLogic will soon to be very accustomed to hearing from us in various places. With no further ado (and there will be a test, so pay attention)… Sensor […]
