Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

On November 14, 2006, QuickLogic Corporation (the “Company”) received a written Staff Determination notice from the Nasdaq Global Market stating that the Company is not in compliance with the requirements for continued listing under Nasdaq’s Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) because the Company has not timely filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 1, 2006, and that its securities are, therefore, subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Global Market. The Company previously announced in a press release dated August 16, 2006 that it had received a Staff Determination notice because it had not timely filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 2, 2006. A copy of the press release issued on November 20, 2006 announcing the receipt of the notice is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

The Company had a hearing with the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market on September 26, 2006 and has not received a decision from the Listing Qualifications Panel.  The November 14, 2006 Nasdaq Staff Determination notice indicated that the Nasdaq Listing Qualification Panel will also consider the not timely filed third quarter report in rendering a determination regarding the Company’s continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market. The Company will present its views with respect to this matter to the Listing Qualifications Panel. The Company is awaiting the decision of the Listing Qualifications Panel. Pending a decision by the Listing Qualifications Panel, the Company’s securities will remain listed on The Nasdaq Global Market. There can be no assurance that the Listing Qualifications Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing.
