Digi-Key Electronics Announces Global Partnership with QuickLogic Corporation Through Digi-Key Marketplace Platform
Digi-Key Electronics, the world's most widely available and fast-moving off-the-shelf electronic components distributor, has announced a global partnership with QuickLogic® Corporation to distribute QuickLogic's low-power, multi-core MCUs, FPGAs through the Digi-Key marketplace platform and embedded FPGA, voice and sensor processing products.
QuickLogic is a fabless semiconductor company implementing its QuickLogic Open Reconfigurable Computing (QORC) initiative using open source FPGA tools.
With the addition of QuickLogic products to the Digi-Key marketplace platform, customers now have a complete ultra-low power software and hardware solution that can turn ideas into designs in days. QuickLogic products are now supported by several popular open source software tools such as Zephyr, FreeRTOS, SymbiFlow, and Renode.
Whether customers are adding always-on wake word detection, deploying AI inference models at the edge/endpoint, or wanting a low-power Arm® Cortex®-M4F MCU based on fully open source software, the QuickLogic EOS® S3 series SoCs have you covered provide a solution. The product portfolio includes:
?EOS S3 MCU sensor processing platform: With the integrated Arm Cortex-M4F MCU and embedded FPGA (eFPGA) core, customers can quickly prototype ideas into volume production. The platform is supported by an easy-to-use, low-cost development kit and open source software toolchain (Zephyr, FreeRTOS) and QuickLogic's FPGA user tools.
?EOS S3 Voice + Sensor Hub: Supports concurrent sensor processing with voice recognition. Ultra-low-power solutions support long battery life without sacrificing user experience.
?EOS S3-AI: A turnkey low-power solution and development environment that economically brings the benefits of AI to endpoint applications.
?QuickFeather Development Kit: QuickFeather is small, Feather compatible, inexpensive, and fully supported by open source tools. With the Cortex™-M4F MCU and integrated eFPGA, the onboard EOS S3 enables you to innovate with fully open source software and hardware.
?Qomu Development Kit: The use of extremely low-power embedded processors and low-power FPGA technology makes Qomu the perfect development platform, especially for the development of edge IoT applications and artificial intelligence/machine learning capabilities. This tiny circuit board plugs directly into a USB Type-A port and can be designed to go anywhere.
Anissa Lauer, senior product manager for marketing at Digi-Key, said: "QuickLogic products are optimized for ultra-low power consumption, making them ideal for IoT and consumer mobile applications. In addition, Digi-Key is already offering QuickLogic subsidiaries SensiML™ Analysis Toolkit Basic. As a result, our customers now have a complete software and hardware solution that can speed up the ideation and design process.”
SensiML's analytics toolkit provides customers with a complete AI development workflow, complete with data collection, labelling, model generation, and testing/validation for embedded AI.
Brian Faith, CEO of QuickLogic, said: "Digi-Key has an extremely wide range of electronic components worldwide. Selling through Digi-Key Electronics provides engineers with an easy way to order devices, kits and software tools to Increased user exposure to our products. We look forward to working with Digi-Key and further expanding the reach of our business.”
