Faraday integrates QuickLogic eFPGA into FlashKit-22RRAM SoC for enhanced IoT edge solutions

The FlashKit-22RRAM platform, implemented on UMC's 22ULP process technology, supports both Arm Cortex-M7 and VeeR EH1 RISC-V processors. It features multiple systems, analog and interface blocks, eNVM, and QuickLogic's eFPGA IP for post-tape-out customization. This platform is designed for AIoT, consumer, and industrial applications, offering energy efficiency and performance optimization.

"Integrating QuickLogic's eFPGA into our FlashKit platform brings substantial value to customers in need of adaptable, future-ready SoCs for the rapidly evolving IoT market," said Barry Lai, Director of Platform-Based SoC Development at Faraday. "This collaboration significantly enhances the configurability of our silicon platform while enabling cost-effective customization at the edge."

QuickLogic's eFPGA IP offers a scalable architecture and is built on open-source toolchains, empowering developers with a high degree of design freedom. The inclusion of this reconfigurable logic within the FlashKit platform allows Faraday customers to optimize power, performance, and area for their unique workloads, which is essential for edge AI and real-time sensor fusion applications.

"Our partnership with Faraday highlights the growing need for customizable compute at the edge," said Mao Wang, Sr. Director of Product Management at QuickLogic Corporation. "Integrating our eFPGA technology into FlashKit gives designers post-deployment hardware flexibility and a clear path to differentiation across diverse IoT applications."
