QuickLogic Ships Industry's Lowest Power Mil-Temp FPGAs; Eclipse II Ultra Low-Power Programmable Logic Devices Combine Performance, Density and Embedded SRAM for High Reliability Applications

Business Wire, June 7, 2005

SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- QuickLogic Corporation (Nasdaq:QUIK), the pioneer of Embedded Standard Products (ESPs) and a leading supplier of uWatt FPGAs, today announced the production availability of military-temperature versions of its popular Eclipse II FPGA product. The Eclipse II family of uWatt FPGAs provide customizable logic solutions for critical military applications including aircraft navigation and flight controls, data recorders, weapons systems and military communications equipment. An increasing number of these applications, such as the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS), are becoming portable or battery-operated, fueling a requirement for semiconductor suppliers to these markets to concurrently increase functionality at reduced power consumption.

Traditionally, logic solutions for low power military applications have been implemented exclusively in ASICs, due largely to the fact that FPGAs could not minimize their static and dynamic power consumption to an acceptable level. ASICs, however, require lengthy and highly complex development and debug cycles and have procurement models with large minimum order quantities. The industry-leading low power reality of Eclipse II uWatt FPGAs addresses the needs of these power-critical military application segments such as portable personal communications, global positioning and smart munitions. Additionally, the adoption of a device from the Eclipse II uWatt FPGA family drastically reduces design cycle time to a matter of weeks at a fraction of the total cost of ownership of ASICs.

"QuickLogic has a long track record of delivering programmable logic solutions to a broad spectrum of applications within the military and aerospace market segment. The security, non-volatility and instant-on nature of our patented ViaLink(R) technology make our devices an excellent fit for systems that demand high reliability," said Brian Faith, Senior Director of Product Marketing.

Technical Information

The entire Eclipse II product family is based on QuickLogic's patented ViaLink metal-to-metal programmable interconnect technology, enabling the low power, non-volatility, and security demanded by rugged military applications. The quiescent current of the Eclipse II products are as low as 70 uAmps at 125C, two orders of magnitude lower than competitors' FPGAs under comparable conditions. Densities range from 47K to 320K system gates. Eclipse II incorporates embedded dual-port SRAM and supports a wide range of I/O standards to enable several board-level components to be integrated into a single chip.
