About Quickfilter Technologies

Quickfilter Technologies Inc. is a fabless semiconductor company founded in 2003 by Bob Silco. The company, based in Allen, Texas, develops programmable mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs) that convert analog signals into clean digital signals. These ICs combine multiple analog and digital component functions into a single, software-programmable chip.

The company's core business revolves around providing a solution that includes both hardware (ICs) and proprietary software, the QuickfilterPro Software. This combination allows engineers to design and implement custom circuits for signal processing, such as digital filters, without needing extensive DSP programming knowledge. The main benefit for customers is a significant reduction in design cost and time-to-market, coupled with high performance and the flexibility to reprogram the ICs in-circuit. Quickfilter's products are targeted at various markets, including industrial control and monitoring, medical equipment, consumer audio, and sensor-based networks.

In 2007, Dr. Ed Staiano, a former executive at Motorola and CEO of Iridium World Communications, was appointed as Co-CEO and Chairman of the Board to work alongside founder Bob Silco. The company has raised a total of $16.5M in funding.
