QuickLogic Announces Availability of Its ArcticLink II VX2 CSSP Solution Platform
Sunnyvale, Calif.-- QuickLogic Corporation (NASDAQ: QUIK), the lowest power programmable solutions leader, today announced engineering sample shipments of its low power ArcticLink® II VX2 solution platform. With embedded 2nd generation Visual Enhancement Engine (VEE v2.0), Display Power Optimizer (DPO), optional frame buffer, and low power programmable fabric, the ArcticLink II VX2 solution platform is ideal for display path CSSPs for smartphones, multimedia phones, feature phones, mobile internet devices (MIDs), netbooks, smartbooks, mobile TV devices, and portable navigation devices (PNDs).
The low power ArcticLink II VX2 solution platform incorporates the following key features:
"Longer battery life and better display quality have become two of the most important features for portable, media-rich devices of all kinds," said Brian Faith, VP of Worldwide Marketing for QuickLogic. "As recently as a year ago, battery life specifications addressed only talk time and standby time. However, of equal importance today is what some writers have termed as 'YouTube minutes.' Consumers want displays that provide a TV-quality experience, even in direct sunlight, yet don't rob them of precious battery power. The combination VEE v2.0 and DPO is the only solution on the market that fully addresses these issues."
Availability
CSSPs based on the ArcticLink II VX2 solution platform are sampling now, and are scheduled for full production availability in Q4, 2009.
