Triad Semiconductor is the Mixed Signal Via Configurable ASIC (VCA) Company

We can deliver your application implemented in mixed signal silicon quickly, at low cost and in any volume. The following benefits are enabled by our structured array technology.

  • Low NREs
  • Shorter design schedules
  • Minimal risk of re-spins
  • Prototypes 4 weeks from tape-out
  • Production 4-6 weeks from PO
  • Availability in any volume

For qualified designs, your development schedule can be significantly shortened because of our support for schematic-based analog design and the availability of reusable, soft analog-IP.

In contrast to the development of a full custom mixed signal ASIC, our customers don't have to plan for re-spins of their designs. The use of silicon proven components in our platforms significantly improves the chances of first pass success.

All of our VCA products are via programmable in a single layer. This includes analog and digital circuitry as well as ROM. This approach enables us to stage wafers at the foundry for the use of our customers.

The bottom line is that Triad Semiconductor's mixed signal chips give you advantages in development, prototyping and production. As a result, you can get your next product to market earlier using our VCA platforms.

This is not only true for customers who can't seriously consider a full custom mixed signal ASIC because of cost, schedule, or risk, but also for businesses that focus on board-level circuits. Customers with discrete, mixed signal products find our value proposition extremely compelling due to the cost savings, increased reliability and IP protection that an integrated solution offers over one implemented with discrete parts.

Finally, for those applications that go to higher volume, we're able to move the production proven designs to more cost effective implementations with minimal risk.
