QuickLogic Delivers eFPGA Hard IP Optimized for Intel 18A Technology

QuickLogic Corporation, a leader in embedded FPGA (eFPGA) Hard IP, ruggedized FPGAs, and Endpoint AI/ML solutions, has announced a significant milestone with the delivery of its eFPGA Hard IP optimized for Intel’s 18A technology.
This marks the first time eFPGA Hard IP has been delivered for a sub-5nm process node, setting a new benchmark for low power consumption, high performance, and optimal silicon area utilization (PPA).
Quick Delivery Powered by Australis™ IP Generator
Leveraging the power of its proprietary Australis™ IP Generator, QuickLogic was able to create the first eFPGA Hard IP for Intel 18A in just six months. With the foundry-specific Hard IP now complete, QuickLogic is positioned to deliver customer-specific variants even faster, enhancing flexibility and reducing time-to-market.
Supporting FPGA User Tools for Seamless Integration
QuickLogic’s eFPGA Hard IP is supported by two versions of its FPGA User Tools. Aurora is a fully open-source suite that offers designers complete transparency and inspectability, while Aurora Pro is a more advanced version that includes Synopsys® Synplify® FPGA Logic Synthesis, providing a higher level of functionality.
These tools enable faster, more efficient design integration and customization for various applications.
