QuickLogic and Zero-Error Systems Partner to Deliver Radiation-Tolerant eFPGA IP for Commercial Space Applications

SAN JOSE, Calif., March 14, 2024 — (PRNewswire) — QuickLogic Corporation (NASDAQ: QUIK), a developer of embedded FPGA (eFPGA) IP, ruggedized FPGAs and Endpoint AI/ML solutions, today announced a strategic partnership with Zero-Error Systems America (ZES), a leading provider of radiation-hardened-by-design (RHBD) semiconductor solutions and intellectual property (IP). This partnership enables the creation of radiation-tolerant eFPGA IP for commercial space applications, targeting ASICs and SoCs that require high reliability in flight and space environments.

MarketsandMarkets report states the LEO (Low Earth Orbit) satellite market, valued at $9.6 billion in 2021, is expected to grow from $12.6 billion in 2023 to $19.8 billion by 2026, with a CAGR of 15.5%.  Growth is driven by the demand for services provided by LEO satellite constellations and cost reductions in launch services. Innovations include smaller, lighter batteries and reusable hardware designs, emphasizing the need for hardware reprogrammability and reducing Size, Weight, and Power (SWAP) of electronic systems. However, conventional eFPGA IP, crucial for post-launch reprogrammability, lacks optimization for these radiation-tolerant commercial and space applications.

Utilizing ZES' robust RHBD cell libraries, QuickLogic and ZES will partner to address this need by delivering state-of-the-art, reliable, radiation-tolerant eFPGA IP cores and customization options.

Why Choose QuickLogic and ZES for Your eFPGA Needs?

  • Unparalleled reliability: The combination of ZES's RHBD cell libraries and QuickLogic's Australis eFPGA IP Generator ensures that the resulting eFPGA IP cores are highly reliable and can withstand space environments in and near LEO orbits.
  • Fast turnaround time: QuickLogic's Australis IP Generator can develop a customized and/or application-specific eFPGA IP significantly faster than alternative eFPGA IP vendors, and well within the design time requirements of this market.
  • Meeting Power x Performance x Area (PPA) requirements: The collaboration ensures that the resulting eFPGA IPs reduce SWAP.

Mao Wang, Senior Director Product Marketing at QuickLogic, commented, "By leveraging ZES's RHBD cell libraries and QuickLogic's Australis eFPGA IP generator, we can provide our customers with IP cores that meet the unique requirements of their missions. These offerings ensure the reliability and customization necessary for success in mission-critical applications."

"QuickLogic's decades-long reputation in the programmable logic industry, and their ability to rapidly deliver customized eFPGA IP cores, makes our collaboration an excellent opportunity to extend our RHBD IP offering beyond our current portfolio of Latchup Detection and Protection (LDAP), Point of Load and Voter integrated circuits," said Craig Gavin, Director of Zero-Error Systems America.
