QuickLogic Delivers SDIO and CE-ATA Solutions for Marvell PXA3xx Processor Family.QuickLogic's Low Power Connectivity Solutions Provide Fast Time to Market and Design Flexibility for Handheld Consumer Electronics Applications SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- QuickLogic[R] Corporation (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :QUIK), a low power programmable logic leader, today announced the availability of ultra-low power connectivity solutions between SDIO See SDIO card. and CE-ATA-based peripherals and Marvell's newest generation PXA3xx processor family. The solutions have been system-proven through a QuickLogic daughter board connecting to a Sophia Systems Marvell[R] PXA3xx-based evaluation board. The QuickLogic solutions are based on PolarPro(TM) FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) A type of gate array that is programmed in the field rather than in a semiconductor fab. Containing up to hundreds of thousands of gates, there are a variety of FPGA architectures on the market. technology, and integrate high performance host controllers for the Marvell PXA3xx embedded microprocessors, and SDIO and/or CE-ATA peripherals and/or any SD memories. The inherent benefits of PolarPro FPGAs include fast design times, design flexibility, increased battery life, reduced board space and a high rate of successful first-time designs. These attributes are critical for components designed into the high-performance, low-power target applications for the PXA3xx processors such as smart phones and portable game/media players. "We are delighted to collaborate with Marvell and deliver peripheral connectivity solutions in conjunction with the new processor announcement," said Brian Faith, QuickLogic's Senior Director of Marketing. "This gives our mutual customers a competitive edge when introducing new products since they can now avoid the lengthy design times needed for implementing such critical functions in media rich handheld mobile products." "Today's announcement highlights QuickLogic's commitment to continuously deliver solutions for Marvell's application processors," said Marvell's Gary Forni, Director of Platform Enabling, Cellular and Handheld Business Unit, Communications and Consumer Business Group at Marvell. "We are delighted to have QuickLogic solutions help us extend our reach to standard peripherals such as HDD (Hard Disk Drive) See hard disk and HDD caddy. HDD - hard disk drive , Wi-Fi, SD Card, and Mobile TV for the PXA3xx family of application processors. QuickLogic provides hardware-proven solutions allowing customers to quickly define and develop high-quality products without spending significant time verifying peripheral interfaces." About PolarPro FPGAs The PolarPro FPGAs features include a Very Low Power (VLP VLP Virus-like particles, see there ) mode in which the device draws less than 5[acute accent]A of standby current, a level never before seen for FPGAs of this density. The VLP mode also retains the state of the device, including IOs, which greatly simplifies system design. The PolarPro family of devices includes a highly flexible embedded RAM block with built in FIFO (First In First Out) A storage method that retrieves the item stored for the longest time. Contrast with LIFO. See traffic engineering methods. FIFO - first-in first-out controller logic, which enables fast guaranteed performance and cost effective implementations.
