Meeting physical-design security requirements using FPGAs and other user-programmable devices is becoming a bigger challenge as techniques to steal or modify data proliferate and become more sophisticated", notes Jim Lipman, Microelectronics/EDA Industry Analysts and Editor.
"The amount of valuable intellectual property that fits into a single FPGA makes this type of device an attractive target for IP theft, if designs are not fully secure.
Chips that are not secure also makes board- or system-level designs more susceptible to IP theft".
This new portal provides news, articles and information describing how IP security is breached through reverse engineering and cloning.
The portal also provides examples of IP theft, protective measures that can thwart security threats and information on how revenue can be affected when IP is stolen.
"Our customers value our solutions because they can get to market quickly with a highly differentiated IP secure product", said Tom Hart, Chairman, President and CEO of QuickLogic.
"ViaLink based designs offer bulletproof solutions to the very real threat of the theft of valuable intellectual property".
The security portal represents the first of several application-specific portals that QuickLogic will be launching.
These portals will be dedicated to spreading awareness and accelerating the development of upcoming technologies in the digital consumer, battery-operated, medical, gaming, and military markets.
