- First eFPGA IP generated by Australis IP Generator for
TSMC process
- Enabled quick retargeting to TSMC 22nm process needed
for customer's SoC
- eFPGA Supported by Open-Source as well as QuickLogic
Aurora FPGA User Tools

JOSE, Calif., March 14,
2022 /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
the availability of its first customer-defined eFPGA block
targeting TSMC's 22nm process node. The IP was generated by the
Australis IP Generator tool which enabled rapid eFPGA IP
generation and can target nearly any foundry/process node
combination in a few weeks to a few months.
Now that this eFPGA IP core is available, future customizations
can be completed in a matter of weeks. It can easily be modified
and integrated into other customer's SoC devices. Once integrated,
the cores are supported by QuickLogic's own Aurora FPGA User Tools
as well as 100% open-source tool flows.
SoC developers integrating embedded FPGA IP gain a host of
post-production benefits from its inherent flexibility. For
example, it enables a single SoC to serve multiple adjacent
applications, address competitive challenges with new features, or
adapt to evolving standards. As a result, the effective market life
of complex SoCs is extended and the high investment in time and
money required to create them can be amortized over a longer
product lifetime – increasing profitability and ROI.
"When we first created the Australis eFPGA IP generator, we knew
it had the capability to quickly and easily target almost any
foundry and process," said Mao Wang,
QuickLogic's senior director of product management. "Now we are
seeing the proof of its capabilities in the form of actual customer
implementations, first for UMC and now for TSMC."
Availability
The Australis eFPGA IP Generator,
including support for the TSMC 22nm process, is available now.
Interested SoC customers can begin their designs today and have a
customized, ready-to-integrate eFPGA IP block in just a few weeks.
