SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- QuickLogic
Corporation (NASDAQ: QUIK), a developer of ultra-low power
multi-core voice-enabled SoCs, embedded FPGA IP, display bridge and
programmable logic solutions, announced that it has partnered with
Aldec, a leading design verification EDA company, to provide
seamless simulation support for its embedded FPGA (eFPGA)
technology. Now QuickLogic eFPGA customers can perform design
verification using Aldec's industry-proven Active-HDL™ FPGA Design
and Simulation software.
Aldec's 34+ years of FPGA/ASIC verification expertise enables
QuickLogic's eFPGA customers to work in a seamless environment as
part of the Active-HDL tool suite. Active-HDL is a Windows® based
integrated FPGA Design Creation and Simulation solution for
team-based environments. Active-HDL's Integrated Design Environment
(IDE) includes a full HDL and graphical design tool suite and
RTL/gate-level mixed-language simulator for rapid deployment and
verification of FPGA, and now eFPGA, designs.
QuickLogic's Aurora development tool suite will support easy
design migration to and from the Aldec simulation environment for
designers who are embedding eFPGA technology into their SoC
designs. The combination of the two tool sets will deliver a
seamless development environment supporting a simple and complete
design flow, from RTL to simulation to bitstream for the embedded
FPGA portion of the design.
By embedding eFPGA technology into SoC designs, designers can
maintain high performance and low power consumption, and ensure
post-manufacturing design flexibility to support design fixes,
upgrades, market variants and rapidly evolving standards or market
requirements.
"We are very happy to collaborate with Aldec for eFPGA
simulation flow support," said Mao
Wang, director of product marketing at QuickLogic
Corporation. "Simulation is a very important design verification
step to ensure proper functionality of the design. Our
collaboration with Aldec streamlines this step for our eFPGA
customers, enabling them to more quickly and easily complete their
embedded FPGA designs and shorten their time-to-market."
"QuickLogic's eFPGA technology is an exciting advancement
addressing the re-configurability requirements of today's SoCs. We
are looking forward to providing our mutual customers with seamless
mixed-language simulation support and a rich-set of debugging
environment with our Active-HDL tool suite," said Louie De Luna, director of marketing at
Aldec.
The Aldec Active-HDL and QuickLogic Aurora™ development tools
supporting QuickLogic's eFPGA technology are both available now
from their respective companies.
