IC Design and Verification Journal: Analog Audacity – Triad Offers Configurable Analog Arrays

Webmaster — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 14:57:23 +0000

Bryon Moyer over at the IC Design and Verification Journal has written an article highlighting Triad Semiconductor’s configurable analog arrays. He speaks of our mixed-signal process in terms of its “analog audacity”:

Let’s just face it: analog is hard. Analog designers are a special breed: they resist designs done by computer, and for good reason. There’s a fair bit of the black magic that only a human can bring to the design. According to Cadence’s John Stabenow, users have more or less rejected analog synthesis. Even when it does well enough to do the job required and meet the specs, designers still aren’t comfortable with the aesthetics of the layout – which speaks to the subtlety that imbues analog design.

So when Triad Semiconductor perpetuates the analog array dream with the audacity to bring configurable analog arrays to market, they have to be aware that they’re following in some big footsteps that have led nowhere in particular. And presumably have taken steps to alter the path in a more profitable direction.

In the News: Microwaves & RF Reports on Triad and Z-Focus Bluetooth Low Energy Data Transfer

Webmaster — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:23:59 +0000

Microwaves & RF has published an article reporting on Triad Seminconductor and Z-Focus demonstrating the world’s first software-based, real-time Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) data transfer.

At ARM Techcon3 in Santa Clara, CA last month, Triad Semiconductor and Z-Focus Technology Group demonstrated the world’s first software-based, real-time Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) data transfer. This demonstration was based on the BLE v0.9 prototyping specification. The firms wirelessly streamed real-time digitized signals from Triad’s Mocha development system to a PC display.

Learn more about TRIAD’s low NRE single-mask mixed signal via configurable arrays (VCA) that can be utilized to significantly reduce the size, weight and power of military electronics. TRIAD VCAs allow for the integration of analog, digital, and non-volatile memory functions into a mixed signal ASIC with significant SWAP (Size, Weight & Power) savings over discrete and FPGA solutions.

GOMACTech – GOMAC – is a conference established primarily to review developments in microcircuit applications for government systems. Established in 1968, the conference has focused on advances in systems being developed by the Department of Defense and other government agencies and has been used to announce major government microelectronics initiatives such as VHSIC and MIMIC, and provides a forum for government reviews.
