Triad Semiconductor

Smart sensors are a key component in today’s industrial environment. Temperature, pressure, torque, displacement and humidity are a few of the measurements that are now typical for today’s industrial customer. These measurements need to be converted from an analog measurement to the digital domain. The digital information is processed and sent through a digital communications link. The drive to incorporate the latest technology at the lowest cost makes the Triad ASIC solution a top design priority.

The healthcare market is moving toward devices that require less power and smaller size. Blood glucose monitoring, implantables, defibrillators, temperature sensors, and bioelectric amplifiers all fit into this category. Triad Semiconductor has design experience to turn a discrete implementation into a low-cost, low power configurable ASIC that will reduce time to market.

Markets move fast.  Product development must keep ahead of the curve.  Demands of size and cost are constantly putting pressure on designers.  Automotive products require sensor interfaces; combined with digital processing and communication bus requirements.  Designers are driven to look for the lowest cost solution.  The Triad Semiconductor mixed signal ASIC meets that need.  Triad has the design experience for the automotive segment and will design your mixed signal ASIC using our silicon-proven IP.  Combine that with the benefits of VCA technology and you have a low-risk approach to your production ASIC.

The gaming market is in a constant battle between cost and innovation.  New gaming interfaces - from reading brain waves to 3D cameras - are finding a growing market.  The user experience is no longer tied to a joystick.  Reducing the time to get your product developed and in customers hands is critical.  Market windows demand that your new gaming platform, interface or controller be ready for the next selling season.  Triad Semiconductor can lead the way from design input through ASIC delivery.  Whether it’s processing power or high resolution converters, Triad has the experience to take your design into low cost, high volume production.

System requirements for multiple power planes, several voltage levels, power sequencing, sleep mode power, high-voltage LED drivers, quality audio processing, and intelligent control of these functions has led to the need for mixed-signal ASICs that sweep up a variety of analog functions for costs savings, performance, and integration. Portable electronics include a wide range of supply voltages: 1.8V and 3.3V for digital ICs, 4.2V for a Lithium-ion battery, 5V for legacy interfaces, 36V for LED backlighting, isolated voltages for sensitive analog circuits, and high voltages for motor control.
