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), the lowest power programmable logic leader, today announced its "Power Comparison Resource Package" that includes a low power programmable logic video, power comparison demo platform, a white paper created by a third-party consultant and a micro website. The purpose of this package is to help designers compare FPGAs and CPLDs between the leading vendors in order to make the best decisions based on design power constraints and requirements.

QuickLogic contracted a third party to study the design issues around low power 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.  and CPLD (Complex PLD) A programmable logic device that is made up of several simple PLDs (SPLDs) with a programmable switching matrix in between the logic blocks. CPLDs typically use EEPROM, flash memory or SRAM to hold the logic design interconnections. See PLD and SPLD.  technology and author a white paper describing different architectures. The white paper presents actual board-level test data comparing each vendors' "low power" programmable logic, including details on why and when different architectures will consume excessive amounts of power. The data includes in-rush current at device start-up together with static, dynamic and idle-mode power consumptions during normal operation.

The demo platform can also be viewed live at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas Las Vegas (läs vā`gəs), city (1990 pop. 258,295), seat of Clark co., S Nev.; inc. 1911.

"The need to quickly and easily integrate more functionality within ever-decreasing board space, power budgets and market windows drives designers of portable electronics towards using flexible, low power programmable logic solutions," said Brian Faith, QuickLogic's Senior Director of Marketing. "However, selecting the right programmable logic isn't easy and low power claims are often that -- just claims. With our Low Power Programmable Logic Comparison Package, we've taken the guesswork out of comparing devices so designers can focus on design and not on creating comparison metrics or trying to sort through oft-times confusing data sheets."
