Business Description

QuickLogic Corporation is a semiconductor Company that develops and markets low power programmable solutions that enable customers to add features to its mobile, consumer and industrial products. Its targeted mobile market segments include Tablets, Smartphones, Broadband Access Data cards, Secure Access Data cards, and Mobile Enterprise. It operates in a single industry segment where it designs, markets and supports Customer Specific Standard Products (CSSPs), Field Programmable Gate Arrays, (FPGAs), application solutions, associated design software and programming hardware. Its CSSPs are customized semiconductor building blocks created from its new solution platforms including ArcticLink II, ArcticLink, PolarPro II, PolarPro, Eclipse II and QuickPCI II. Its mature product family includes pASIC 3, QuickRAM, Eclipse, and EclipsePlus, as well as royalty revenue, programming hardware and design software; its end-of-life product family includes pASIC 1, pASIC 2, V3, QuickMIPS, QuickPCI and QuickFC. CSSPs are complete, customer-specific solutions that include a unique combination of the company's silicon solution platform, proven system blocks, or PSBs, custom logic and software drivers. All of its solution platforms are standard silicon products and must be programmed to be effective in a system. Its PSBs range from intellectual property, or IP, which improves video streams to IP which implement commonly used mobile system interfaces, such as Secure Digital Input Output, or SDIO, or Universal Serial Bus 2.0 On-The-Go, or USB 2.0 OTG, to IP that accelerates sideloading speeds in mobile devices. The company provides complete solutions by first architecting the solution jointly with its customer's engineering group, selecting the appropriate solution platform and PSBs, providing custom logic, integrating the logic, programming the device and providing software drivers required for the customers' application. In addition to CSSPs, the company sells products to industrial, military and other customers who do their own selection and integration of IP cores and add software drivers to their application. It markets FPGAs, IP cores and software drivers to these customers, who value the low power consumption, reduced development risk through the use of proven IP cores, fast time-to-market, high IP security, instant-on and reliability of its devices. This range of offerings allows customers to acquire a solution tailored for their needs. Mobile product OEMs and ODMs tend to prefer a complete solution, and purchase CSSPs. Other customers in the industrial or military segments with proprietary IP requirements choose to purchase its FPGAs or ArcticLink II / ArcticLink / PolarPro II / PolarPro solution platforms and utilize its IP cores as appropriate.ic Corporation was founded in 1988 and reincorporated in Delaware in 1999.
