VCA5 - Part of the VCA 3/5/8 Family
The VCA-5 is a member of Triad’s VCA 3/5/8 family. Containing 100,800 ASIC gates, the VCA-5 is the mid-size member of the family which features a diverse mix of fully differential and single ended wideband devices which include op amps, FETs, switches, Rs and Cs, PLLs, and other supporting functions, enabling the designer to select the right combination of resources to create circuits consisting of simple analog filters and amplifiers, all the way up to high speed, high resolution data converters and other mixed-signal DSP solutions. The plentiful logic resources allow implementation of glue logic functions, complex state machines, or soft-macro micorcontrollers such as an 8-bit 8051 class or 32-bit ARM® Cortex-M0. There is also dual-port SRAM and via-ROM in each platform which can be used as code and parameter storage, or look-up table resources.
Like all of Triad’s configurable devices, the VCA-3/5/8 family uses patented via-only, single-mask configuration allowing design changes in weeks – not months, low development costs, reduced risk and support for any production volume.
