- Closely follows announcement of first eFPGA IPs from
Australis IP Generator for TSMC 22nm, UMC 22nm, and SkyWater
Technologies' RH90 processes
- Broad eFPGA User Tools support including QuickLogic
proprietary and open-source tools

JOSE, Calif., April 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 the GlobalFoundries 22FDX® process, generated via the
company's Australis™ IP Generator tool. By leveraging a
completely standard cell design approach, customized eFPGA IP
generation can be completed in weeks to a few months, substantially
faster than alternative eFPGA vendors.

Not only can the Australis tool produce eFPGA IP for different
processes from different foundries, but the IP can also be easily
and quickly customized in the future. This means that QuickLogic
can deliver IP that is targeted for the customer's workload
requirements as their application evolves. After the embedded FPGA
block has been produced, it is supported by both QuickLogic's own
Aurora FPGA User Tools as well as 100% open-source
alternatives.
Several entities across several industry verticals, including
IoT, industrial, consumer, and aerospace/defense, have now been
able to take advantage of the many benefits inherent in embedding
QuickLogic's eFPGA technology. These include enabling a single SoC
to service multiple applications, each with slightly different
requirements. They can also modify features or add new features to
address competitive challenges or adapt to rapidly evolving
standards. By adding flexibility to their SoC design, developers
can dramatically extend the useful life of the SoC and amortize
high development costs over a much longer period of time.
"Australis has enabled us to change the game in terms of
generating and delivering compelling eFPGA IP for the foundry and
process combination our customers need, in substantially less
time," said Mao Wang, QuickLogic's
senior director of product management. "It is working exactly as
expected, and now we support the very popular 22nm node on three of
the world's most popular fab processes. We look forward to
supporting many more eFPGA cores, customers, and processes in the
near future as more and more SoC developers come to realize how
quick and easy it is to add eFPGA IP to their devices."
Availability
The Australis eFPGA IP Generator, including support for the
GlobalFoundries 22FDX process, is available now. Customers can
begin their designs today and have a customized, ready-to-integrate
eFPGA IP block in just a few weeks. For more information, please
