Aeroflex Licenses QuickLogic For RadHard Space Products
Plainview - Oct. 27, 2000 Aeroflex has licensed technology from QuickLogic for the development and sale of programmable radiation-hardened integrated circuits for space applications. The agreement calls for Aeroflex UTMC to have access to QuickLogic's ESP (Embedded Standard Product) and FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) design technology, along with the metal-to-metal interconnect technology. Financial terms of the contract were not disclosed. "The access to QuickLogic's design technology complements our existing portfolio and broadens our aerospace product offerings. The new products will benefit the commercial broadband and defense satellite communities," said John Buyko, Aeroflex senior vice-president of microelectronics. Peter Feist, QuickLogic's vice president of worldwide marketing, said the agreement underscores the benefits of QuickLogic's ViaLink� metal-to-metal interconnect technology to both space and defense systems designers. "New Aeroflex UTMC products based on our architecture will finally give engineers a real choice when designing systems that demand high-speed, low-power, high-reliability and radiation-hardness," he said. "And they will also have the flexibility of using either FPGA or ESP products." Anthony Jordan, Aeroflex UTMC director of standard products, said the license agreement would enable Aeroflex UTMC to expand its role in the space market, as well as offer engineers products for today and tomorrow's applications. "Engineers have been clamoring for programmable deep sub-micron design solutions and options, particularly programmable logic with soft and hard IP cores. We're eager to respond to their needs," he said. "Our new partnership with QuickLogic will continue our tradition of delivering cutting-edge products." Aeroflex UTMC supplies RadHard databus, transceivers, memory, logic, LVDS, standard product cards and ASICs for commercial and defense satellites.
