For Immediate Release

QUICKLOGIC ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER
RESULTS — REVENUE INCREASES 34%

SUNNYVALE, Calif.— October 22, 2003 — QuickLogic Corporation (Nasdaq: QUIK), the inventor and pioneer of Embedded Standard Products (ESPs), today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2003.

Net revenue for the third quarter of 2003 was $11.2 million, up 34% from net revenue of $8.3 million in the third quarter of 2002, and up 5% sequentially compared to the second quarter of 2003. ESP products were 42% of revenue for the third consecutive quarter. The net loss for the third quarter of 2003 was $709,000, or $0.03 per share, compared to a net loss of $6.0 million, or $0.26 per share, in the third quarter of 2002, and compared to a net loss of $24,000, or $0.00 per share, in the second quarter of 2003. Second quarter 2003 results included a $0.7 million gain on the sale of securities.

“While our revenue growth results for Q3 were certainly satisfying, we are even more pleased with our 29% year to date revenue growth,” said Tom Hart, Chairman, President and CEO. “This revenue growth has been driven by a 58% increase in Embedded Standard Product revenue over the same time period. We continue to be very enthused by the customer interest and design activity generated by our newest products – both the Embedded Standard Products and our newest FPGA family named Eclipse II.”
