Additionally, under the license agreement, Aeroflex also has access and can offer to the aerospace/satellite community QuickLogic's robust suite of circuit development and programming tools.

"We are extremely excited to introduce the radiation-hardened Eclipse FPGA product," said John Buyko, President, Aeroflex Microelectronic Solutions.

"The Eclipse FPGA family is expected to serve as a technology platform that will allow Aeroflex to develop additional RadHard FPGA products and ASSPs (Application Specific Standard Products), thus enabling us to further service and penetrate the RadHard market.

"Our aerospace/satellite customers have been anxiously awaiting an alternative to current RadHard FPGA solutions," continued Buyko.

"The RadHard Eclipse FPGA leverages a proven commercial architecture with radiation-hardening, creating an efficient, high-performance FPGA with embedded RadHard SRAM.

"Our relationship with QuickLogic now gives engineers a choice when designing satellite systems that demand high speed, lower power, radiation-hardening and high reliability. We anticipate receiving initial orders in the current quarter with deliveries expected to commence in the March quarter."

"We are pleased to see the benefits of QuickLogic's Eclipse FPGA IP and ViaLink metal-to-metal interconnect technology added to Aeroflex's already extensive RadHard product portfolio," said Tom Hart, Chairman and CEO, QuickLogic.

"With the Eclipse FPGA IP being radiation-hardened by Aeroflex, this enabling technology will provide alternative RadHard solutions to aerospace and military satellite system suppliers worldwide."
