Triad Semiconductor forms alliance program

Triad Semiconductor, a provider of mixed-signal ASICs, has launched the Triad Alliance Program. Telesensors has been appointed a Triad authorised Design centre and a member of the Triad Alliance Program. The Triad Alliance includes authorised Design centres, Design centres Partners, Triad IP Providers, EDA vendors and ASIC Companies.

Triad Semiconductor customers will be able to choose from Alliance members for state-of-the-art design services, silicon-proven intellectual property (IP) and platform-ready tools.

The Triad Alliance will speed time to market while reducing customer design risk and cost.

The authorised Design centre Program provides extensive training on the Triad via configurable array (VCA) technology, access to Triad EDA tools, continuing development support and access to the latest platform configurations.

In addition, authorised Design centres have developed, fabricated and tested target application through the VCA process.

This assures first-pass success as these Design centres support Triad Semiconductor customers.

'Telesensors has an experienced engineering team with a wide range of systems and ASIC experience'.

'We are excited about adding Telesensors to our program and look forward to continued collaboration,' said Mike LoDebole, vice president of sales for Triad Semiconductor.

Telesensors has recently taped out and successfully tested circuits in support of their Smart Sensors platforms, which combine sensing, wireless, and ASIC technologies for products in the homeland security and medical markets.

Dan Blankenship, Telesensors COO added, 'We have been working closely with the Triad team in the development of Smart Sensor platforms using Triad's VCA technology'.

'The training and support they have provided has been exceptional'.

'Their VCA technology has played a significant role in our ability to meet the needs of our customers'.

'Moving forward we see many opportunities to apply their VCA platforms in creating our integrated Smart Sensors'.
