Triad Semiconductor has formed an alliance of industry leaders in the design and support of mixed signal ASICs.
The Triad Alliance Program includes:
Our customers expect the highest level of support. Triad Semiconductor has developed a rigorous qualification process to ensure our partners exceed customer expectations. Authorized Design Centers are required to develop, fabricate and test a VCA design.
Telesensors, Inc. (www.telesensors.com)
Telesensors is developing the next generation of intelligent wireless sensors, called Smart Sensors. Smart Sensors are low cost, wireless integrated circuits that can detect nuclear, chemical, or biological agents, as well as more conventional environmental conditions, such as temperature. Smart Sensors achieve low cost due to a high level of integration and the efficient use of the silicon die. Smart Sensors communicate within a secure wireless networked environment. These capabilities enable Smart Sensors to be deployed in the high quantities necessary to provide effective monitoring of environmental conditions. A distributed approach to environmental monitoring is far more cost-effective than conventional and expensive point-type solutions.
Triad Semiconductor has partnered with Leading Edge Design Service Companies. Our Design Partners are trained at Triad University on the latest VCA design methodology. This partnership allows our customers to outsource the design of their mixed signal ASIC, keeping your focus on critical product development.
Plan 9 (www.plan9inc.com)
Plan 9, Inc. is an IC design services firm that specializes in mixed-signal, RF, analog, and LSI digital designs. Plan 9, incorporated in 1999, provides services from spec generation to finished ASICs for broad range of commercial and military customers.
