QuickLogic' EOS S3 sensor processing SoC in production

QuickLogic announced successful completion of production qualification testing for its new EOS S3 sensor processing SoC, where initial shipments to support pre-production requirements to its tier1 customer scheduled for later this month.

The multi-core SoC EOS S3 handles concurrent sensor applications, from basic to high computation algorithms for smartphone, wearable, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Compared to microcontroller, the EOS S3 sensor SoC features algorithm partitioning to consume the lowest possible power for a designated task.

QuickLogic claims advanced sensor algorithms such as voice triggering, motion compensated heart rate monitoring, and indoor navigation can be implemented at significantly lower levels of power consumption compared to MCU chips.

"The EOS S3 employs always-on, context-aware sensing capabilities while staying well within the strict power budgets of smartphone, wearable, and IoT designs," said Brian Faith, vice president of worldwide marketing at QuickLogic Corporation. "Now that this leading edge platform has been production qualified, the top-tier OEMs we've been working with know that they can reliably scale up their manufacturing to high-volume production levels."
