One of our mantras at QuickLogic has always been “software before silicon.” Why? Just as a computer is a useless collection of hardware without an operating system and applications software, the same is basically true for FPGAs without our customers’ designs mapped into our architecture. Sure, we provide a lot of clever integrated functional building […]
Can You Hear Me Now?
During Q1, I discussed our first significant engagement for a hearable device, and during Q2, I announced that we won that and other hearable designs that are currently scheduled for production during Q4 2017. I am pleased to state we have seen a substantial increase in hearable engagements during the last four weeks. To keep […]
Win, win, win, and win
This past week, I was invited to participate in a panel discussion at the MindMotion Developer Conference in Shenzhen, China. Other participants included several semiconductor industry veterans and luminaries, one of whom was the very well respected “father of MCUs in China”, Mr. George Zhou. The discussion that followed reinforced what we have been promoting […]
Living on the Edge…
A few days ago, TechCrunch published an interesting article about a theory of edge versus cloud computing developed by Peter Levine, a general partner at venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz. The one sentence summary of his theory is that the recent trend toward cloud computing for mobile and Internet of Things (IoT) devices will soon […]

Machine Voice Recognition Becomes More Human
In a typical day, we each probably have dozens (and sometimes many dozens) of conversations. Part of the natural art of conversation is our ability to speak and listen to a single individual, even when there is background noise such as music playing or other conversations in progress. We instinctively focus our attention on the […]
