QUICKLOGIC Corp (NASDAQ: QUIK)

QuickLogic Corporation develops programmable logic semiconductor technologies including embedded Field Programmable Gate Array intellectual property and specialized FPGA devices for applications needing adaptable hardware functionality. As a fabless semiconductor company it licenses eFPGA IP sells discrete FPGA devices and provides related development tools and software.

The company generates revenue primarily from licensing its eFPGA IP to semiconductor firms that integrate programmable logic blocks into custom ASICs and SoC devices. It also sells discrete FPGA devices such as the EOS S3 ArcticLink III and PolarPro families and offers development tools software and professional engineering services to support integration.

QuickLogic holds a niche position in the programmable logic market competing with larger FPGA suppliers such as Lattice Semiconductor Microchip Technology AMD and Intel. Its competitive advantages stem from deep expertise in programmable logic architectures the proprietary Australis IP generator that enables scalable eFPGA licensing and a focus on long life cycle mission critical applications in aerospace defense and industrial sectors.

The company serves defense industrial base contractors U S government entities system original equipment manufacturers and fabless semiconductor companies seeking adaptable hardware solutions. While specific customer names are not disclosed a small number of large customers accounted for a significant portion of revenue in recent fiscal years.
