SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jan. 18, 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, today announced that Cleer, Inc. a
designer, and manufacturer of high-performance personal
entertainment products, selected the company's EOS™ S3 multi-core
voice enabled System on a Chip (SoC) for its EDGE Voice wireless
headphone product, a 2018 CES Innovation Awards honoree. The EDGE
Voice headphone enables users to connect to Amazon's Alexa voice
services via Bluetooth technology to make calls, stream audio,
order products, or check schedules and set reminders. As a bonus
feature, it also includes built-in heart-rate monitoring.
Adding voice control capability has become a significant trend
for consumer electronics over the last year. For this
product, QuickLogic's EOS S3 Sensor Processing Platform was chosen
specifically to provide always-on trigger word recognition and
voice control. These features are enabled by the hardware
integration of the Sensory, Inc. Low Power Sound
Detection (LPSD) technology in the EOS S3 SoC. Because the
QuickLogic solution is hardware-based, it can provide always-on
voice recognition and control at substantially lower levels of
power consumption than MCU-based devices. Cleer also selected the
EOS S3 because of the company's reputation of providing excellent
technical support.
"We would like to congratulate the engineers at Cleer for
winning a CES Innovation Award for their EDGE Voice wireless
headphones at the 2018 show," said Brian
Faith, QuickLogic's president and CEO. "We are pleased
that our EOS S3 platform was able to contribute voice recognition
and control features to such an outstanding product."
The EOS S3 Sensor Processing Platform from QuickLogic and the
EDGE Voice headphones were both on display at the 2018 CES Show in
Las Vegas. EOS S3 is available now, and the EDGE Voice
headphones will be shipping in 2nd half of
2018.
