Building on today’s “RGB-split for Foldable Tablets and Smartphones” press release, I wanted to spend a bit of time talking about current competitive approaches to splitting display signals. First, a bit more on RGB-split. What is does: it accepts a single incoming MDDI or RGB display signal (from the applications processor/CPU) and splits it to […]

Adding Silicon to Reduce Power?
During Uplinq last week, visitors to our booth were, among other things, given demonstrations of VEE and DPO. One of the curious things that kept occurring was people trying to understand how we can reduce power with silicon. I suppose for most techies, “adding silicon to reduce power” is in the vein of “jumbo shrimp” […]
Uplinq 2011
For those headed to UPLINQ 2011 this week, we hope you’ll stop by our booth during the Mobile Innovations Showcase at Qualcomm’s annual conference. We’ll be showing VEE and VEE-related solutions all day Wednesday and Thursday. Details on UPLINQ can be found at http://www.qualcomm.com […]
Why Are DPO’s Power Savings Variable by System Design?
One question I frequently get from potential customers is why QuickLogic’s DPO CSSP-based technology ‘will extend your battery life an average of 20-25%’, rather than ‘will extend your battery life 25%’. The difference, of course, is that we state an average savings rather than define a specific savings. There are a few reasons for this, […]
So, Really…What is a CSSP?
Starting off, CSSP equals Customer Specific Standard Product. QuickLogic introduced the CSSP concept to the market back in 2007, and our efforts are paying off, as shown by the growth of this technology (we reported a 93% increase in new product sales in our last earning call). But what exactly is a CSSP, and what […]
Honeycomb Cometh…
Google’s demonstration last week of its Android 3.0 OS (Honeycomb, for those ‘in the know’) has been widely hailed as the first real shot across the massive battleship that is iPad/iOS. Naval references aside, the combination of support for larger display sizes along with graphics and interfaces designed specifically for those larger displays is exactly […]
QuickLogic’s MDDO
Greetings! The latest QuickLogic press release detailing our new MDDO (Mobile Device Display Optimizer) software for Android just crossed the wire. I wanted to take a couple of seconds to explain what MDDO does in a little more detail. A bit of background: the Android mobile OS communicates with on-board devices (Bluetooth, displays, cameras, etc…) in standard […]
This Just In, From CES
CES 2011 for QuickLogic has been extremely successful so far, and we’re not done yet. VEE and DPO continue to be a very compelling story, and the new ArcticLink II CX CSSP platform is driving a ton of interest in the applications of QuickLogic’s side loading and secure data management technologies. And yes…we are showing the […]
Android Auto-Brightness: How to Improve this Typically Poorly Implemented, But Important Feature
Recently, a very good article by Dr. Raymond Soneira of DisplayMate Technologies caught our attention. Being in the display optimization business with our VEE technology in QuickLogic CSSPs, we investigated the claims of Dr. Soneira, and fully agree with him. To further the point, QuickLogic has recently released an NDA-only white paper on the Auto Brightness algorithm in the […]
