QuickLogic Demos Overview

The QuickLogic suite features end product demos and reference platforms that use the company's latest solutions, ideal for portable, convergent CE products requiring wireless connectivity, mass storage and digital TV. Examples of such products include Smartphones, Portable Media Players, Portable Navigation Devices, PDAs, and Gaming Systems. For designers looking for a cost-efficient, system-verified solution for CE products without negatively impacting their power budget, QuickLogic solutions, based on PolarPro(TM) and Eclipse(R) II technology, are optimized for long battery life, enhanced user experience and small form factor.

    Demos shown in the QuickLogic suite includes:

    Smartphone Reference Platform

a. CE-ATA Hard Disk Drive (HDD) / SDIO/ SD Card Solution -- This reference platform integrates high performance CE-ATA and SDIO host controllers for the Marvell(R) PXA3xx application processors for connectivity to a variety of storage and wireless technologies.

b. TV-Out Solution with XY Swap Capability -- The emerging requirement for Smartphones to support the TV-Out function with simultaneously active landscape and portrait displays is enabled by this QuickLogic solution. Support for both NTSC and PAL displays is possible through the solution's active frame-rate control management.

Portable Media Player (PMP) Demo

a. The first PMP reference platform supports broadband 3G connectivity via HSDPA, multimedia storage via an integrated HDD, and wireless distribution of media content via UltraWideBand technology. QuickLogic's companion solution for the Marvell(R) PXA270 application processor enables the critical communication link to the HDD and the wireless modules.

b. A second PMP platform is based on an Analog Devices Blackfin(R) DSP, and plays back multimedia content stored from an SD Card memory. QuickLogic's companion device for the Blackfin(R) family of DSPs enables high performance connectivity to the SD memory card -- critical to storing and playing high quality audio/video content.

Portable Navigation Devices

a. Magellan(R) GPS system -- QuickLogic's HDD companion solution connects the Marvell(R) PXA270 application processor to the external HDD. The QuickLogic solution not only solves the fundamental connectivity issue, but with an elegant DMA algorithm, also reduces the processor bus utilization resulting in an enhanced user experience.

Other Demos

a. Alioth customer product demonstration -- QuickLogic's HDD Solution is used to display movie content at kiosks in real time. This demo shows a complete application processor and HDD solution, based on the Marvell(R) PXA270. QuickLogic provides a drop-in IDE system solution including Linux drivers.

b. Marvell(R) Mainstone DVK demonstration with Wireless LAN, PCI and IDE Solution -- QuickLogic's companion solution communicates between the Marvell(R) PXA270 processor, a WLAN module, and a HDD.

c. Low Power Demo Board -- If you are searching for the lowest power FPGA, this demo platform leaves no doubt that QuickLogic's PolarPro technology is second to none in power consumption, providing designers of portable CE equipment a programmable platform ideal for solving IO and Data processing challenges, while preserving precious battery life.
