Icera is a developer of software-defined wireless chipsets and provider of software-based cellular modems for broadband data cards, USB sticks, and mobile internet devices. Icera's reference design uses a wafer-level chip scale (WLCSP) version of the ArcticLink solution platform to compliment its second-generation baseband chip design. QuickLogic provides smart data transfers between USB and SD/SDHC memory via QuickLogic's Smart Programmable Integrated Data Aggregator (SPIDA) system block.
"QuickLogic's technology and capabilities were key to our ability to quickly respond to the shifting market requirements without compromises," said Rick Dingle, VP of Customer Engineering at Icera. "The CSSP approach and the use of QuickLogic's SPIDA-proven system block embedded within the ArcticLink solution platform provided us with the opportunity to work with QuickLogic on architecting and adapting the solution for power and performance efficiencies. By working directly with QuickLogic's architecture and development teams, Icera was able to go from specification to first samples in less than eight weeks."
"QuickLogic's CSSP solutions provide companies such as Icera with the flexibility to implement custom designs optimized for power consumption and performance while saving them the time, expense and effort of spinning base platform silicon," said Andrew J. Pease, QuickLogic's president. "Because CSSPs are not customized until after fabrication and test, we have an appropriate die bank awaiting the needs of many different customers, giving them customized solutions at standard product pricing and availability."
The ArcticLink-based CSSP that Icera said it chose belongs to a family of solution platforms that embed a combination of QuickLogic's patented ViaLink programmable fabric technology and hard-wired logic for commonly requested functions to maximize speed, and minimize power consumption and cost. QuickLogic implemented additional system blocks (PSBs) with power consumption and performance characteristics in the programmable fabric to meet specific customer requirements.
