QuickLogic secures eFPGA contract for automotive and industrial SoC

QuickLogic Corporation said in a press release it secured a six figure contract to supply embedded FPGA intellectual property for a programmable SoC. The chip will target battery management, precision motor control and industrial robotics using a 16nm automotive process.

QuickLogic expects the initial contract to generate license revenue over the next six months. The company also expects royalty revenue when production shipments begin.

The customer will use QuickLogic's Australis eFPGA IP Generator to create programmable logic tailored to its power, performance and area requirements. The embedded logic can support hardware acceleration, security functions, communications interfaces and control algorithms.
