Market Review on QuickLogic Corp

Tag: Contact Voltage Regulator

QuickLogic Corporation, the premier supplier of ultra-low power configurable platforms for the mobile market, has developed an evaluation module for its Visual Enhancement Engine (VEE) technology that allows OEMs and ODMs to see first-hand the benefits the technology can bring to their mobile devices, both in terms of revolutionary image enhancement and battery life savings. The module comes with both pre-configured mobile processor and Liquid Crystal
Display (LCD) interfaces that enable easy insertion into an existing handheld device so that developers can evaluate the technology in a real-world setting without making any significant engineering investment.

QuickLogic's VEE technology creates a TV-quality viewing experience of visual media in mobile systems by adaptively enhancing image/video data in real time. Unlike typical global enhancements such as gamma correction and content adaptive backlight control (CABC), VEE's enhancements are context sensitive and adapt pixel by pixel. The technology adapts to changes in ambient light, giving developers an
alternative to simply boosting the backlight intensity level for daylight viewing.

"Our VEE technology delivers a significant impact in terms of a superlative viewing experience and battery lifetime extension in mobile systems," said Howard Li, Senior Solution Marketing Manager for QuickLogic. "We developed this evaluation module so our customers could see VEE in action while not spending precious time and R&D dollars to build prototype systems." Delivered as a pre-configured Customer Specific Standard Product (CSSP), the module is designed to fit
seamlessly between the LCD and the main PCB. "OEMs and ODMs can then test-drive' the technology in their labs, demonstrate it to carriers and network operators, and even to consumers," said Li.

The VEE Evaluation Module incorporates an on-board ambient light sensor to allow testing of the technology's ambient lighting response and adaptive control of the VEE image processing algorithm. It also includes a Flash ROM to hold the VEE parameters that configure the CSSP for the specific LCD that it is connected to. An on-board switching regulator ensures that the module can run off the mobile device's battery, regardless of operating voltage, enabling the evaluation of
VEE's positive impact on battery life.
