JOSE, Calif., March 14,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- QuickLogic Corporation (NASDAQ:
QUIK), a developer of embedded FPGA (eFPGA) IP, ruggedized FPGAs
and Endpoint AI/ML solutions, today announced a strategic
partnership with Zero-Error Systems America (ZES), a leading
provider of radiation-hardened-by-design (RHBD) semiconductor
solutions and intellectual property (IP). This partnership enables
the creation of radiation-tolerant eFPGA IP for commercial space
applications, targeting ASICs and SoCs that require high
reliability in flight and space environments.
A MarketsandMarkets report states the LEO (Low Earth Orbit)
satellite market, valued at $9.6
billion in 2021, is expected to grow from $12.6 billion in 2023 to $19.8 billion by 2026, with a CAGR of 15.5%.
Growth is driven by the demand for services provided by LEO
satellite constellations and cost reductions in launch services.
Innovations include smaller, lighter batteries and reusable
hardware designs, emphasizing the need for hardware
reprogrammability and reducing Size, Weight, and Power (SWAP) of
electronic systems. However, conventional eFPGA IP, crucial for
post-launch reprogrammability, lacks optimization for these
radiation-tolerant commercial and space applications.
Utilizing ZES' robust RHBD cell libraries, QuickLogic and ZES
will partner to address this need by delivering state-of-the-art,
reliable, radiation-tolerant eFPGA IP cores and customization
options.
Why Choose QuickLogic and ZES for Your eFPGA Needs?
- Unparalleled reliability: The combination of ZES's RHBD
cell libraries and QuickLogic's Australis eFPGA IP Generator
ensures that the resulting eFPGA IP cores are highly reliable and
can withstand space environments in and near LEO orbits.
- Fast turnaround time: QuickLogic's Australis IP
Generator can develop a customized and/or application-specific
eFPGA IP significantly faster than alternative eFPGA IP vendors,
and well within the design time requirements of this market.
- Meeting Power x Performance x Area (PPA) requirements:
The collaboration ensures that the resulting eFPGA IPs reduce
SWAP.
Mao Wang, Senior Director Product
Marketing at QuickLogic, commented, "By leveraging ZES's RHBD cell
libraries and QuickLogic's Australis eFPGA IP generator, we can
provide our customers with IP cores that meet the unique
requirements of their missions. These offerings ensure the
reliability and customization necessary for success in
mission-critical applications."
"QuickLogic's decades-long reputation in the programmable logic
industry, and their ability to rapidly deliver customized eFPGA IP
cores, makes our collaboration an excellent opportunity to extend
our RHBD IP offering beyond our current portfolio of Latchup
Detection and Protection (LDAP), Point of Load and Voter integrated
circuits," said Craig Gavin,
Director of Zero-Error Systems America.
