Business Description

QuickLogic Corporation was founded in 1988 and completed its reincorporation in Delaware in 1999. We develop programmable logic semiconductor technologies, including embedded Field Programmable Gate Array ("eFPGA") intellectual property ("IP") and specialized FPGA devices used in a range of applications requiring adaptable hardware functionality. Our technologies enable customers to incorporate programmable logic into custom semiconductor devices or deploy standalone programmable devices to implement system control, hardware acceleration, and other configurable functions. We are a fabless semiconductor company whose primary offerings include eFPGA IP licensing, discrete FPGA devices, and related development tools and software. Semiconductor companies license our eFPGA IP to integrate programmable logic blocks into their application-specific integrated circuits ("ASICs") and system-on-chip ("SoC") devices. Our discrete FPGA devices enable customers to implement custom hardware functionality in applications requiring flexibility, low power consumption, and long product life cycles. Our programmable logic technologies are used in a variety of markets, including aerospace and defense, industrial and infrastructure systems, data processing and computing platforms, and certain embedded and edge computing applications. The combination of programmable silicon technologies, software tools, and design resources enables customers to efficiently incorporate field-programmable hardware capabilities into both custom silicon and system-level products. Certain of our programmable logic technologies are designed for applications requiring deterministic hardware operation, security, and long operational lifetimes, including aerospace, defense, and industrial systems, where reliable electronics are critical to system performance. We also support government-sponsored initiatives focused on strengthening trusted microelectronics capabilities and advancing radiation-tolerant programmable logic technologies used in aerospace, defense, and other mission-critical systems. Our current product offerings include our eFPGA IP licensing business and associated professional services, which consist of development and integration of eFPGA technology into customer semiconductor devices, as well as a range of FPGA silicon products, including EOS™, ArcticLink® III, PolarPro®3, PolarPro II, PolarPro®, and Eclipse II products. Our mature products include FPGA families such as PASIC®3 and QuickRAM®, as well as programming hardware and design software tools that support the development and deployment of programmable logic designs. We collaborate with a range of ecosystem partners on co-marketing, co-selling, and technology initiatives supporting our IP and silicon platforms. These partners include semiconductor IP providers, semiconductor design service companies, semiconductor foundries, semiconductor assembly and test providers, and other technology companies that support the development and deployment of programmable silicon solutions. Our eFPGA IP is currently developed across a range of semiconductor manufacturing process technologies, including Intel 18A and process nodes such as 12nm, 16nm, 22nm, 28nm, 40nm, 65nm, 90nm, 130nm, 250nm, and 350nm with a roadmap targeting additional advanced semiconductor nodes. Our licensable IP is generated using our automated IP generator tool, Australis™, which enables the creation of customized eFPGA IP architectures that can be integrated into customer ASIC and SoC designs. This automated architecture generation capability allows customers to incorporate programmable logic into custom semiconductor devices with limited ongoing development involvement from QuickLogic, enabling a scalable IP licensing model. As a fabless semiconductor company, we rely on third-party semiconductor foundries and manufacturing partners to fabricate, assemble, and test our silicon products. We work with multiple manufacturing partners to support a range of product volumes and applications, including the development of certain programmable logic technologies designed for use in semiconductor manufacturing environments operated within the United States. Our EOS S3™ and ArcticLink® III silicon platforms combine mixed-signal physical functionality and fixed-function logic alongside programmable logic resources.…
