Quicklogic Stock Price, News & Analysis

QuickLogic (NASDAQ: QUIK) has announced the release of Aurora 2.9, an enhanced version of its eFPGA design software tool. The update introduces several key improvements, including a BlockRAM and DSP IP Configurator for better on-chip memory and DSP functions integration, up to 2X faster Place and Route (P&R) tools runtime, and custom function support through LUT macros.

The new version features improved Integrated Path Analysis (IPA) startup time and includes optional Synopsys Synplify logic synthesis in the Aurora PRO version. These enhancements aim to improve Quality of Results (QoR) and resource utilization efficiency, particularly benefiting engineers familiar with Synplify synthesis tools.

QuickLogic (NASDAQ: QUIK) has announced the integration of Synopsys Synplify® synthesis tool into its FPGA User Tools. This strategic integration aims to enhance QuickLogic's design environment by accelerating FPGA-based design cycles and improving Power, Performance, and Area (PPA) metrics.

The integration provides several key advantages, including enhanced Quality of Results (QoR) through Synplify's synthesis algorithms that maximize logic efficiency, performance, power consumption, and silicon area. Additionally, as Synplify is an industry-leading FPGA Synthesis tool, developers familiar with it can expect a faster, smoother synthesis cycle to meet project timelines.
