Organization, Consolidation, Basis of Presentation, Business Description and Accounting Policies [Text Block] | Note 1 — The Company and Basis of Presentation QuickLogic Corporation (“QuickLogic” or “Company”) was founded in 1988 and reincorporated in Delaware in 1999. The Company enables Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) to maximize battery life for highly differentiated, immersive user experiences with Smartphone, Wearable, Hearable, Tablet and Internet-of-Things (“IoT devices”). QuickLogic delivers these benefits through industry leading ultra-low power customer programmable System on Chip (“SoC”) semiconductor solutions, embedded software, and algorithm solutions for always-on voice and sensor processing, and enhanced visual experiences. The Company is a fabless semiconductor provider of comprehensive, flexible sensor processing solutions, ultra-low power display bridges, and ultra-low power Field Programmable Gate Arrays (“FPGAs”). The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, SensiML Corporation (“SensiML”) provides Analytics Toolkit, which is used in many of the applications where the Company’s ArcticPro™, eFPGA intellectual property (“IP”) plays a critical role. SensiML Analytics toolkit is an end-to-end software suite that provides OEMs a straightforward process for developing pattern matching sensor algorithms using machine learning technology that are optimized for ultra-low power consumption. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of the Company’s management, these statements have been prepared in accordance with the United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. The Company recommends that these interim condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2019, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 13, 2020. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. QuickLogic's fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to December 31 and each fiscal quarter ends on the Sunday closest to the end of each calendar quarter. QuickLogic's third fiscal quarters for 2020 and for 2019 ended on September 27, 2020 and September 29, 2019, respectively. COVID-19 - Impact on Business On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared a global emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and on February 28, 2020, the WHO raised its assessment of the threat from high to very high at a global level. The social and economic impact of the COVID-19 outbreak has continued to increase exponentially since this declaration. The outbreak has resulted in significant governmental measures being implemented to control the spread of COVID-19, including, among others, restrictions on travel, business operations and the movement of people in many regions of the world in which the Company operates, and the imposition of shelter-in-place or similarly restrictive work-from-home orders impacting many of the Company’s offices and employees, including those located in the United States. As a result, the Company has temporarily closed or substantially limited the presence of personnel in its offices in several impacted locations, implemented travel restrictions and withdrawn from various industry events. The Company has also experienced some disruption and delays in its supply chain, customer deployment plans, and logistics challenges, including certain limitations on its ability to access customer fulfillment and service sites. As such, while COVID-19 has had an impact on the Company's financial results on the three and nine months ended September 27, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential effects on the Company’s business in its fiscal 2020 remain dynamic, and the broader implications for its business and future results of operations remain uncertain. These implications could include further disruptions or restrictions on the Company’s ability to source, manufacture or distribute its products, including temporary disruptions to the facilities of its contract manufacturers in China, Taiwan, Philippines and Singapore, or the facilities of its suppliers and their contract manufacturers globally. Additionally, multiple countries have imposed and may further impose restrictions on business operations and movement of people and products to limit the spread of COVID-19. Delays in production or delivery of components or raw materials that are part of the Company’s global supply chain due to restrictions imposed to limit the spread of COVID-19 could delay or inhibit its ability to obtain the supply of components and finished goods. If COVID-19 becomes more prevalent in the locations where the Company, its customers or suppliers conduct business, or the Company experiences more pronounced disruptions in its operations, the Company may experience constrained supply or curtailed demand that may materially adversely impact its business and results of operations. In addition, any other widespread health crisis that could adversely affect global and regional economies, financial markets and overall demand environment for the Company's products could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, cash flows or results of operations. It is difficult to accurately predict the full impact that COVID-19 will have on the Company's future results from operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows due to numerous uncertainties, including the duration and severity of the pandemic and related containment measures. The Company will continue to closely monitor the pandemic's associated effects on all aspects of the business. Restructuring In January 2020, the Company implemented a restructuring plan to lower annual operating expenses and strategically align resources around the Company's open source, AI SaaS and IP Leasing businesses. The restructuring plan was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on January 24, 2020. Pursuant to the restructuring plan, the Company recorded $624,000 of restructuring charges during the nine-month period ended September 27, 2020, consisting primarily of employee severance related costs and facility costs. During the third quarter, the Company incurred additional restructuring expenses of $111,000 relating to the closure of the San Diego and India facilities.﻿ Liquidity The Company has financed its operations and capital investments through sales of common stock, finance and operating leases, a revolving line of credit and cash flows from operations. As of September 27, 2020, the Company's principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $24.7 million, including $15.0 million drawn down from its revolving line of credit (“Revolving Facility”) with Heritage Bank of Commerce (“Heritage Bank”), and $1.2 million loan proceeds received under Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). On November 6, 2019 the Company entered into a First Amendment to the Revolving Facility with Heritage Bank to extend the maturity date for one year through September 28, 2021. Under this amendment the Revolving Facility advances shall bear interest, on the outstanding daily balance thereof, at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) one half of one percentage point (0.50%) above the Prime Rate, or (ii) five and one half of one percentage points (5.50%). On May 6, 2020, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Heritage Bank for a loan of $1.2 million pursuant to the PPP under the CARES Act enacted on March 27, 2020. See Note 6 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the details. On June 22, 2020, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of 2.5 million shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share at a price of $3.50 per share. The Company received total gross proceeds from the offering of approximately $9.3 million, including $0.5 million received from the overallotment under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement to purchase up to an additional 375,000 shares. Underwriters partially exercised the option to purchase 141,733 additional shares of Common Stock. The Company incurred approximately $1.2 million of stock issuance costs for this offering. Total net proceeds received from this offering was $8.1 million after deducting underwriting discounts and other stock issuance costs. See Note 8 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the details. Various factors can affect the Company’s liquidity, including, among others: the level of revenue and gross profit as a result of the cyclicality of the semiconductor industry; the conversion of design opportunities into revenue; market acceptance of existing and new products including solutions based on its ArcticLink®, PolarPro® platforms, eFPGA, EOS S3 SoC, Quick AI solution, and SensiML software tools; fluctuations in revenue as a result of product end-of-life; fluctuations in revenue as a result of the stage in the product life cycle of its customers’ products; costs of securing access to and availability of adequate manufacturing capacity; levels of inventories; wafer purchase commitments; customer credit terms; the amount and timing of research and development expenditures; the timing of new product introductions; production volumes; product quality; sales and marketing efforts; the value and liquidity of its investment portfolio; changes in operating assets and liabilities; the ability to obtain or renew debt financing and to remain in compliance with the terms of existing credit facilities; the ability to raise funds from the sale of equity in the Company; the ability to capitalize on synergies with our newly acquired subsidiary SensiML; the issuance and exercise of stock options and participation in the Company’s employee stock purchase plan; and other factors related to the uncertainties of the industry and global economics. Over the longer term, the Company anticipates that sales generated from its new product offerings, existing cash and cash equivalents, together with financial resources from its Revolving Facility with the Heritage Bank, assuming renewal of the Revolving Facility or the Company entering into a new debt agreement with an alternative lender prior to the expiration of the revolving line of credit in September 2021, and its ability to raise additional capital in the public capital markets will be sufficient to satisfy its operations and capital expenditures. However, the Company cannot provide any assurance that it will be able to raise additional capital, if required, or that such capital will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. The inability of the Company to generate sufficient sales from its new product offerings and/or raise additional capital if needed could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations and financial condition, including its ability to maintain compliance with its lender’s financial covenants. Reverse Stock Split Effective on December 23, 2019, the Company enacted a 1-for-14 reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock, in which, every 14 issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company were automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock without any change in the par value per share. Stockholders who would have otherwise been entitled to fractional shares of common stock as a result of the reverse stock split received a cash payment in lieu of receiving fractional shares. All share, equity awards, and per share amounts contained in this Form 10-Q and the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split for all prior periods presented. Warrants issued in connection with the May 2018 stock issuance were also adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split for all periods presented. Principles of Consolidation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of QuickLogic and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Foreign Currency The functional currency of the Company's non-U.S. operations is the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, all monetary assets and liabilities of these foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at current period-end exchange rates and non-monetary assets and related elements of expense are translated using historical exchange rates. Income and expense elements are translated to U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates in effect during the period. Gains and losses from the foreign currency transactions of these subsidiaries are recorded as interest income and other expense, net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Uses of Estimates The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates, particularly in relation to revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts, sales returns, valuation of long-lived assets including mask sets, valuation of goodwill, capitalized internal-use software and related amortizable lives and intangibles related to the acquisition of SensiML, including the estimated useful lives of acquired intangible assets, valuation of inventories including identification of excess quantities, market value and obsolescence, measurement of stock-based compensation awards, accounting for income taxes and estimating accrued liabilities. Contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. Judgment is required to determine the Stand-alone Selling Price (“SSP”) for each distinct performance obligation. The Company uses a range of amounts to estimate SSP when each of the products and services are sold separately and determines the discount to be allocated based on the relative SSP of the various products and services when products and services sold are bundled. In instances where SSP is not directly observable, such as when the Company does not sell the product or service separately, it determines the SSP using information that may include market conditions and other observable inputs. The Company typically has more than one SSP for individual products and services due to the stratification of those products and services by customers. In these instances, the Company may use information such as the size of the customer, customer tier, type of the technology used, customer demographics, geographic region and other factors in determining the SSP. Concentration of Risk The Company's accounts receivable are denominated in U.S. dollars and are derived primarily from sales to customers located in North America, Asia Pacific, and Europe. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. See Note 12 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding concentrations associated with accounts receivable.
