QUIK just ahead of its time till ’bout now?
QuickLogic was one of the first companies to identify this need and to act on it.
By having a range of computing engines – from conventional applications processors to MCUs to GPUs to FPGA-based accelerators, these devices have the potential to
optimally match the best kind of compute engine with each part of an application.
AM i looking forward to the S3?
You bet, been looking forward to it for some time. I think I know what to expect, but won’t have it completely right.
Will it come with new algos?
I think it has to, otherwise it will just be a piece of silicon QUIK want it to fit this snip
what jobs a chip is intended for.
1. Motion Compensated HRo more accurate than anything up till now.
2. Audio input into devices- to keep pace with others here.
3. PDR- THe most accurate also to make for good Indoor loacation.
ALways keep something to look forward to and for QUIK the next 6 months will be the best in some yrs.
For some the glass is not only half empty, but down to the last drop.
I see it as more than half full and poised to overflow in the future.
Thats what makes a market.

Kevin Morris was the author of this essay. He knows his stuff, his essays, like Paul McW> work are worthy of multiple reads to understand it.
SO let’s try taking his advice and apply it to the business some of us own part of.
In fact, looking at the “how” can be a dangerous distraction from the “what” – which is where the real competition happens in semiconductors
The S3, we will just skip the how for a minute, the details of the FFE, the ARM 4 core and it FPU. What will it allow…
1. Motion Compensated HRo more accurate than anything up till now.
2. Audio input into devices- to keep pace with others here.
3. PDR- THe most accurate also to make for good Indoor loacation.
It will run compute intense algos that put MCUs into the red zone, 1,2 and 3 above. Accuracy of the algos will be part of the selling point. Its nice for those not tech savy as if we listen to Kevin M. just forget the HOW and see if the What resonates.
