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 […]
As CES Approaches…
For most, the new year brings promises of (rarely-kept) resolutions and hangovers. For us folks in the consumer electronics industry, it means we need to start packing our bags for the annual trek to Las Vegas for the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show.

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 […]

Reactions from a New iPad Owner
Like 5M or so of my fellow technophiles (that number is certainly up for debate—see http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2010/10/05/how-many-ipads-has-apple-really-sold/), I recently purchased an iPad. The next day, I began what ended up being a 16 day trip throughout Korea, where I put the iPad through its paces. A disclaimer: I estimate I used the iPad probably 25% of […]
