SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 27, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- QuickLogic
Corporation (NASDAQ: QUIK), a developer of ultra-low power
multi-core voice-enabled SoCs, embedded FPGA IP, and Endpoint AI
solutions, today announced that it has partnered with Retune DSP®,
a leading provider of digital signal processing solutions for voice
control and communication, to provide a fully integrated solution
for low cost voice control systems. Featuring the lowest power
consumption of any system now available, the Retune DSP
VoiceSpot wake word engine was implemented on the QuickLogic
EOS™ S3 Voice and Sensor Processing Platform to provide a
complete customer-ready solution for always-on/always-listening
voice activated applications, including devices that tap into the
Alexa Voice Service.
Retune DSP was able to create a single-microphone solution,
which provides significant benefits compared to two-microphone
solutions, yet still passes the Alexa Voice Service's Close Talk
qualification and certification test requirements. This
single-microphone approach saves area, cost and power without
sacrificing usability.
"The voice processing capabilities and integrated programmable
logic, processor and DSP engine of the QuickLogic EOS SoC platform
made it a great solution for our VoiceSpot Wake Word Engine," said
Ulrik Kjems, CEO of Retune
DSP. "Its ultra-low power consumption is perfect for the
applications we are targeting, which often include devices with
non-rechargeable batteries."
"VoiceSpot is a very robust wake word engine that delivers a
unique combination of high performance and small model size," said
Scott Haylock, product marketing
director at QuickLogic. "VoiceSpot has a tiny footprint and so
easily resides in QuickLogic's EOS S3 – providing our combined
customers with a highly integrated, cost effective, and low power
solution."
Availability
The Retune DSP VoiceSpot wake word
engine solution running on QuickLogic's EOS S3 Voice and Sensor
Processing Platform is available now.
