Triad Semiconductor Inc., a fabless semiconductor company, designs, prototypes, and manufactures mixed-signal application-specific integrated circuits based on via configurable array technology. The company's via-configurable array (VCA) technology delivers ASICs with silicon-proven analog and digital functions more quickly and at lower cost than traditional full-custom approaches. Triad's single-mask, via-only routing cuts engineering effort and fabrication time, resulting in fast-turn prototypes and allowing design changes to be made at minimal cost. Focused on mixed-signal integrated circuit chips made with proprietary technology that reduces the time and cost of chip development, the firm's integrated circuits are used in the defense, aerospace and industrial markets serving applications that include secure radios, man-packs, unmanned aerial vehicles, avionics, satellites, munitions systems, and vehicle health monitoring systems, as well as industrial, medical, automotive, and power management markets.
