SUNNYVALE, CA — (Marketwire) — 03/20/13 — QuickLogic Corporation (NASDAQ: QUIK)
Drive on-board display and HDMI/MHL transmitters from a single Application Processor display signal
Includes display bridging functions for seamless connectivity of varying interfaces
Integrated VEE and DPO technologies allow for sunlight viewability & system-level power savings
QuickLogic Corporation (NASDAQ: QUIK), the innovator in low-power Customer Specific Standard Products (), announced today the immediate availability of its new solution platform device. This product integrates QuickLogic-s Visual Enhancement Engine () and Display Power Optimizer () technologies along with LVDS, MIPI, and RGB interfaces into a single chip bridging and connectivity solution for consumer mobile devices. This enables developers to easily integrate a secondary HDMI and/or MHL video output into systems initially designed to support a single, on-board display.
The VX6BxG is optimized for tablet architecture, offering system designers a solution that bridges the MIPI output of the AP to an LVDS interface for the on-board display, while outputting the same display content to the RGB or MIPI interface of the MHL/HDMI transmitter. This approach eliminates the need for inefficient, multi-chip architectures or the need to upgrade to a more expensive application processor which supports two simultaneous display interfaces.
“The ArcticLink III VX6 family from QuickLogic allows tablet system designers to realize multi-display architectures with processors originally intended to support only a single, on-board display. We believe this flexibility in processor architecture selection can speed time-to-market and keep BOM costs low for OEMs building differentiated HDMI/MHL-enabled products,” says Paul Karazuba, senior product marketing manager at QuickLogic.
The solution platform family also optionally integrates QuickLogic-s VEE and DPO technologies. Our VEE technology, based on the iridix® core from Apical Limited, delivers outstanding display viewability under any lighting condition by dynamically optimizing video characteristics to provide a natural viewing experience. Our DPO technology has been field-proven to lower total system power consumption through dynamic management of display brightness with no negative user side effects. Used together with VEE, QuickLogic-s DPO technology enables system-level battery life extension by an average of 25% without compromising the user experience.
The ArcticLink III VX6 is mass production ready and available immediately for evaluation. Contact QuickLogic at or visit for more information.
