QuickLogic and Renesas Technology Partner to Enable Wi-Fi in Embedded Applications QuickLogic's Low-Power Bridging Technology Enables Connectivity Between Renesas Technology's SH Processors and Wi-Fi Modules
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct 20, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- QuickLogic Corporation
(Nasdaq: QUIK), the pioneer of Embedded Standard Products (ESPs), has announced a
partnership with Renesas Technology Corp., a leading semiconductor manufacturer
for mobile technologies, automobiles and PC/audio visual equipment, to enable
low-power solutions for the rapidly expanding Wi-Fi market. The partnership will
allow OEM customers using the popular Renesas embedded SH processor to address
the growing number of consumer Wi-Fi applications in the home, office and public
places. The solution consists of Renesas Technology's SH processor and a
programmable companion bridge from QuickLogic that enables connectivity to
miniPCI and Cardbus based Wi-Fi modules or chipsets.
"Our collaboration enables Renesas OEM customers to add broadband capability to
embedded systems architected around Renesas Technology SH processors with
minimal software development time and engineering risk," stated Kevin Yee,
Director of Business Development. "This partnership is about offering the lowest
power Wi-Fi solutions in the marketplace for handheld, portable and other
power-sensitive consumer appliances."
"Renesas Technology chose to use QuickLogic's QuickPCI family of ESP devices
because of low-power consumption, high performance and ease-of-design features
offered nowhere else," said Hisao Munakata, Department Manager of System
Solution Promotion Department at Renesas Solutions, a subsidiary of Renesas
Technology. "QuickLogic provided us with the lowest-power bridge from our SH
processor to any miniPCI or Cardbus based Wi-Fi module. This allowed us to
leverage all of our existing software development, meet time to market goals
within the stringent power-consumption requirements and stay price competitive."
Initial chipsets from the partnership will target wireless voice-over-IP (VoIP),
also called VoWLAN, and battery-operated handheld applications that support the
IEEE 802.11a/b/g specifications.
