Programmable system-on-chip (SoC)
ArcticLink™ Solution Platform Quicklogic

ArcticLink is a programmable solution platform designed specifically to meet the unique connectivity requirements of handheld devices.

With the explosion of new handheld applications and devices, customers are demanding multiple functions to be performed at optimal levels by a single device. As a result, designers of handheld products such as Smartphones, Personal Media Players and Portable Navigation Devices are faced with the challenge of integrating enhanced wireless connectivity and digital storage features, among others.

ArcticLink addresses these issues in two ways: first by providing hardwired building blocks such as Hi-Speed USB 2.0 On-The-Go (OTG), SD, SDIO, MMC and CE-ATA, and secondly with an embedded, ultra-low power array of Customizable Building Blocks (CBBs) for additional connectivity and custom functions.

The flexible programmable fabric up to 20 CBBs combined with the hardwired building blocks provides a compact, single-chip solution that reduces BOM costs, saves board space, eases system-level design trade-offs and increases the end product’s time-to-market.

ArcticLink Solution Platform has two small package options; 8x8mm package for space constrained application and 12x12mm package for high pin count applications. Wafer level CSP is also available.
