Via Configurable ASICs for Analog and Mixed Signal Applications
January 25, 2007 – 1:49 pm
Introduction
As any ASIC designer knows all to well, the pressure is relentless to develop larger chips with more functions (including analog) and to deliver in record time. Fabs keep making smaller geometry processes which allows for more transistors per unit area, but this does not make the design easier. And then there is the cost [...]
FPGA plus Mixed Signal ASIC Conversion
January 25, 2007 – 11:44 am
Convert your FPGA and discrete analog design into a low cost, high performance via configurable ASIC.
Migrating your mixed signal design to a Triad VCA means:
Reduced cost
Lower power
Better integration
Improved reliability
IP Protection
If you thought that you could not afford a mixed signal ASIC then please consider the Triad advantage:
Industry’s lowest NRE for mixed signal ASICs
Accelerated development cycle [...]
How to Design a 16-bit Sigma Delta Analog to Digital Converter
January 25, 2007 – 11:04 am
Designing a Sigma Delta A/D Converter as Soft-IP
Sigma delta A/D converters (ΣΔ-ADC) combine over sampling analog sigma delta modulators with digital decimation filters to achieve high precision and cost effective A/D conversion solutions. ΣΔ-ADCs are used to implement high-precision, low-power A/D converters for applications such as sensor interfaces and audio processing. Until recently a delta [...]
Designing a Video Color Space Converter on the VCA-6160 Platform
January 24, 2007 – 8:48 am
1 Video Color Space Converter
Video color space converters are mixed signal circuits that convert video signals from one color space such as RGB to another color space such as YCrCb utilizing high speed digital logic, ADCs, and DACs.
This application note provides a brief overview of color space conversion and the development of a single chip [...]
