QuickLogic Announces Production Availability of EOS S3 Sensor Processing Platform

SUNNYVALE, CA -- (Marketwired) -- Jun 08, 2016 -- QuickLogic Corporation (NASDAQ: QUIK) -

  • QuickLogic has completed its production qualification for the new EOS S3 ultra-low power sensor processing SoC
  • The EOS S3 SoC platform enables advanced sensor processing applications for smartphone, wearables & IoT applications with substantially lower power consumption than traditional MCU solutions
  • Initial tier-one customer shipments are scheduled for late June

QuickLogic Corporation (NASDAQ: QUIK), the innovator of ultra-low power programmable sensor processing solutions, announced today that production qualification testing for its new EOS™ S3 sensor processing SoC has been completed successfully. Initial shipments to support pre-production requirements for a tier-one customer are scheduled for later this month.

The EOS S3 sensor processing platform is a multi-core SoC that enables a vast array of concurrent sensor applications, from basic to computationally demanding algorithms for smartphone, wearable, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Unlike traditional MCU-based solutions, the EOS S3 sensor processing platform enables sophisticated algorithm partitioning to facilitate the lowest possible power consumption for a designated task.

Advanced sensor algorithms such as voice triggering, motion compensated heart rate monitoring, and indoor navigation can be implemented at significantly lower levels of power consumption than competing MCU-based solutions. Low power consumption enables OEMs to dramatically extend battery life for advanced applications, and with that, significantly enhance the user experience.

"The EOS S3 employs always-on, context-aware sensing capabilities while staying well within the strict power budgets of smartphone, wearable, and IoT designs," said Brian Faith, vice president of worldwide marketing at QuickLogic Corporation. "Now that this leading edge platform has been production qualified, the top-tier OEMs we've been working with know that they can reliably scale up their manufacturing to high-volume production levels."
