- QuickLogic and YorChip establish industry's first
UCIe-compatible FPGA chiplet ecosystem
- Low power, cost-effective integration for edge IoT and AI/ML
markets
SAN
JOSE, Calif., Aug. 28,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- QuickLogic Corporation (NASDAQ:
QUIK), a developer of embedded FPGA (eFPGA) IP, ruggedized FPGAs
and Endpoint AI/ML solutions, and YorChip, a pioneering startup
specializing in UCIe-compatible IP, have formed a strategic
partnership to revolutionize the world of FPGA chiplets. The
collaboration will result in a groundbreaking lineup of FPGA
chiplets optimized for low power consumption and low cost, opening
new possibilities for a wide range of applications, including the
fast-growing edge IoT and AI/ML markets.
According to Yole Group, a market research company, by 2023,
they expect chiplet adoption will lead to a TAM of chiplet-based
integrated circuits in excess of $200B, across the consumer, automotive defense,
aerospace, industrial, and medical markets. Since discrete
FPGAs are already prevalent in those same markets, wide adoption of
eFPGA-based UCIe (Unified Chiplet Interconnect Express) enabled
chiplets is expected, and QuickLogic and YorChip are
well-positioned to capitalize on this growth opportunity.
The partnership leverages QuickLogic's eFPGA IP technology to
create the first UCIe-compatible FPGA chiplet ecosystem. This
ecosystem will enable customers to connect any UCIe-compatible
third-party chiplet, such as a CPU or AI/ML chip, to create a
customized system. The ecosystem is also suitable for
interoperability testing and joint promotion. Customers who wish to
go full SoC will still be able to license QuickLogic's eFPGA and
YorChip's UCIe IP and use chiplets to prototype and do early market
production. This flexibility in business model differentiates
QuickLogic and YorChip from traditional IP or discrete FPGA
vendors, who typically only support a single business model.
"Our partnership with QuickLogic is a giant leap for FPGA
technology. Together, we're delivering a groundbreaking lineup of
low-power, cost-effective FPGA chiplets that will revolutionize the
way designers design and build systems," said Kash Johal, Founder at YorChip.
"We are pioneering a new era of FPGA chiplet integration that
fills a market gap and empowers customers with cutting-edge
solutions for the evolving edge IoT and AI/ML markets," said
Brian Faith, CEO of QuickLogic.
UCIe is supported by AMD, Arm, Google Cloud, Intel Corporation,
Meta, Microsoft, Qualcomm Incorporated, Samsung, and TSMC,
solidifying its status as the preferred interconnect standard. This
partnership strategically aligns with the growing trend towards
open standards for chiplets, making YorChip and QuickLogic key
players in shaping the future of FPGA and SoC technology.
Availability
The first FPGA chiplets from the QuickLogic and YorChip
partnership are expected to be available in early 2025. The
chiplets will range in size from 40K
LUTs to over 1M LUTs, making them
suitable for a wide range of applications.
