New QuickWorks v9.8 Design Tools Accelerate PolarPro FPGA Development; New Features Include Support for Precision Synthesis, Advanced I/Os, and Configurable Clock Managers
SUNNYVALE, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—May 18, 2006—
QuickLogic Corporation (NASDAQ:QUIK), the low-power
programmable logic leader, today announced that version 9.8 of its
QuickWorks(R) development software is now available and offers full
support for its new PolarPro(TM) family of ultra-low-power FPGAs.
Additionally, in a separate release dated today, QuickLogic announced
the production shipment of PolarPro devices.
This new version of the QuickWorks tool suite provides a complete
design environment for PolarPro devices including synthesis,
simulation, timing and power analysis. QuickWorks v9.8 also includes a
number of new features:
-- Integrated Precision Synthesis: VHDL and Verilog synthesis
optimized for QuickLogic devices, provides built-in schematic
viewing of RTL and FPGA designs for ease of debugging the RTL
source. Additionally, the interactive PreciseTime engine
quickly performs "what-if" timing analysis for achieving
timing closure.
-- DDRIO and GPIO Support: Integrated configuration interfaces
for Double Data Rate I/O (DDRIO) and General Purpose I/Os
(GPIOs) in the PolarPro family, providing a graphical view of
DDRIO/GPIO configurations and port listings of routable and
static logic ports.
-- CCM Wizard: Provides an intuitive and efficient method of
organizing PolarPro Configurable Clock Managers (CCMs) and
generates HDL for the selected configuration that can be
instantiated directly into customers' RTL source.
-- Power Calculator: Automatically calculates approximate power
consumed in a design.
"PolarPro is breaking new ground for FPGA adoption into portable
electronic applications," said Brian Faith, Senior Director of
Marketing at QuickLogic. "Our focus on providing an integrated EDA
toolchain with advanced power-aware features underscores QuickLogic's
commitment to enabling fast time-to-market and power efficient design
for designers in these segments."
