An Innovative Approach to Fast, Affordable, Custom Silicon

Abstract:
Triad Semiconductor is changing the way that engineers design mixed-signal
ASICs. Triad uses new technology that combines silicon-proven analog and
digital resources onto ASIC die that can then be configured with a single mask
layer into a unique customer IC. ViaDesigner is a new EDA tool that enables
system-level engineers who have no IC design experience to design their own
mixed-signal ViaASICs. This new approach to IC design is built on Mentor
Graphics Corporation's comprehensive system-level design tool called
SystemVision and Triad's intelligent ViaASIC library wizards. This approach
to ASIC design reduces development cost, development time, and is easier and
less risky than traditional full-custom IC design.
Speaker Biography:
Jim Kemerling
Over 25 years of experience in integrated circuit and system-level design.
Prior to founding Triad, worked with MX-COM, Aritech, GE/Ericsson, Lynch
Communication Systems, and Rockwell International in the development of full
custom analog/digital ICs. Jim holds a BSEE from SDSU and a MSEE from the
University of Nevada.
Darrell Teegarden
Over 30 years of experience in modeling and analysis tool development,
particularly with analog/mixed-signal hardware description languages.
Co-author of the book, The System Designer's Guide to VHDL-AMS : Analog,
Mixed-Signal, and Mixed-Technology Modeling. He received a BS in chemical
engineering from Oregon State University and an MS in electrical engineering
from Stanford University.
