Today we announced that the Board of Directors has unanimously voted to approve a reverse split of our shares. This action comes two weeks after we received overwhelming shareholder approval in our recent special meeting of stockholders on November 26. A link to today’s news release can be found in the Press Release section of […]
Free Software Toolkit Trial for AI-Based Wearable and Industrial IoT Applications
If you’re developing AI-based consumer wearable or industrial IoT products, you’ll likely be evaluating various software tools to help implement AI on your wearable or IoT device. The options range from cloud-based analytics which offers nearly limitless computing resources but introduces communication issues such as latency, bandwidth constraints, fault tolerance, and security – to local […]
The Value of Working with Platform Companies
Since our financial results call on November 6, I have been asked a few times to further clarify the business potential related to the “mega-cap company” I referred to during the call. Given this important topic, I determined it would be worthwhile to share more context here in the form of a public blog. For […]
Today’s Preliminary Proxy Filing
We filed a preliminary proxy statement today with the SEC that outlines the steps we must take to maintain our compliance for trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market if our stock does not close with at least a $1.00 bid price for ten consecutive trading days by January 13, 2020. The timing of today’s filing […]
Licensing our eFPGA IP
You might have seen the press release that we issued this morning regarding Nations Technologies (a leader in China’s IC design industry) selecting our ArcticPro eFPGA for their next-generation low power IoT SoC. This press release reflects the formalization of the relationship we mentioned during our last earnings call. In that call, we discussed signing […]
ASICS versus FPGAs versus ASICs with eFPGA Technology
I am often asked about the differences between ASICs, FPGAs, and ASIC-with-embedded FPGA (eFPGA) blocks and so I thought I would devote a blog article to that topic. Here goes… Once upon a time, there were ASICs (“Application Specific Integrated Circuits”, for the uninitiated). These were (and are) semiconductor devices designed to implement a very […]
We’ve Moved!

Rest of the Hearables Market to Follow now That Apple has Caught On
Recently Apple introduced a new second-generation version of their popular AirPods wireless headphones. These headphones not only deliver a great audio experience, but they now offer enhanced hands-free voice-controlled features. Specifically, a new chip design dramatically improves talk time through lower power consumption leading to longer battery life. It also gives users the ability to […]
eFPGA and PULP – The Ultimate (Low) Power Couple
Back in August of last year we announced a collaboration with one of the top technical universities in Europe – ETH in Zurich, Switzerland. They were building a unique open-source SoC-based platform called “PULP”, which is short for “Parallel Ultra Low Power”. This platform is based on the concept of combining multiple RISC-V cores, each […]
