About this update from Quicklogic Corporation

[{"type":"text","content":"SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- QuickLogic Corporation (NASDAQ: QUIK), a developer of ultra-low power multi-core voice-enabled SoCs, embedded FPGA IP, and Endpoint AI solutions, today announced that it has partnered with SiFive, Inc. to add QuickLogic's embedded FPGA (eFPGA) technology to its DesignShare program of IP for SoC designs. SiFive is the leading provider of RISC-V core IP, development tools and silicon solutions. This license makes it easy for SoC developers to add voice and AI subsystems, along with post-manufacturing design flexibility, to their SoCs via SiFive's DesignShare program.\n\n \nThe SiFive DesignShare IP program offers a streamlined process for companies seeking to partner with leading vendors to provide pre-integrated premium Silicon IP for bringing new SoCs to market. As part of SiFive's business model to license IP when ready for mass production, the flexibility and choice of the DesignShare IP program reduces the complexities of contract negotiation and licensing agreements to enable faster time to market through simpler prototyping, no legal red tape, and no upfront payment. \n\"The demand for voice and AI-based IoT solutions is growing,\" said Mohit Gupta, vice president of SoC IP solutions at SiFive. \"Because this is a quickly-evolving market, designers also need flexibility in their SoC designs, often with further customization taking place post-production. Adding QuickLogic's eFPGA IP to our DesignShare ecosystem offers our customers a solution that is not only flexible but low-cost, ultra-low power and very high-performance.\" \n\"SiFive's DesignShare program provides an extensive IP offering for developers of RISC-V based SoCs, and now those same developers can easily add our eFPGA technology to their designs,\" said Brian Faith, president and CEO of QuickLogic Corporation. \"This relationship with SiFive gives IoT and other SoC designers easy access to the flexibility and low power benefits associated with eFPGA technology.\"\nAvailability\nSiFive's DesignShare program, including QuickLogic's eFGPA IP, is available now.
