Quicklogic's

The company operates in the semiconductor industry, which is characterized by rapid technological changes and frequent new product introductions. It competes with various semiconductor companies that provide programmable logic devices, semiconductor intellectual property (IP), or alternative technologies. In the embedded FPGA (eFPGA) IP market, competitors include semiconductor IP providers and technology companies developing programmable logic architectures for ASICs and system-on-chip (SoC) devices, encompassing both established semiconductor firms and smaller venture-backed companies. In the discrete FPGA device market, competitors include Lattice Semiconductor Corporation, Microchip Technology Inc. (which acquired Microsemi Corporation), Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (which acquired Xilinx, Inc.), and Intel Corporation, whose programmable logic business operates under the Altera brand. Competition factors include product performance, power consumption, device density, development tools, IP availability, product life cycle support, and the ability to meet specific application requirements. Programmable logic devices also compete with alternative semiconductor solutions such as ASICs, application-specific standard products (ASSPs), and software-programmable processors.
