The developer of ultra-low power multi-core voice-enabled SoCs, embedded FPGA IP, and Endpoint AI solutions, QuickLogic Corporation (NASDAQ: QUIK) makes its PolarPro3 family of low power, SRAM-based FPGAs available to solve semiconductor supply availability challenges.
PolarPro3 is family is highly flexible and features power consumption as low as 55uA and a tiny footprint in small packages, as well as die options. The product is packed into the small physical die size of up to 2,000 effective logic cells of SRAM-based FPGA fabric, 64Kbits of SRAM and up to 46 configurable I/Os. The high flexibility, low power consumption, and small size make the family is ideal for a variety of functions in handheld, wearable, mobile, IoT and other battery-powered applications including interfaces, level shifting, small CPU cores, low speed serial protocols, and GPIO mixing.
Unlike other semiconductor companies that were hit due to the pandemic, QuickLogic continues to have a well-managed and stocked inventory of devices including the PolarPro 3 family. Because the family features reprogrammable FPGA logic, SRAM and IOs, the devices can typically be easily configured for existing or new designs.
In addition, the PolarPro 3 devices are supported by QuickLogic’s tool suite as well as open-source tools such as Yosys Open Synthesis Suite, making them easily accessible to a wide range of users. Technical support for design migration makes mapping customer designs from other vendor’s unavailable devices simple, quick and easy.
“Customers have been approaching us about semiconductor supply issues which are making it difficult to build and ship their own products,” said Mao Wang, senior director of product marketing at QuickLogic. “For those who need an ultra-low power reconfigurable FPGA solution we can offer the PolarPro 3 devices, which have a well-managed inventory and ready availability for prototyping and production volumes.”
