Triad Semiconductor, a supplier of via-configurable mixed-signal ASICs and Kaben Wireless Silicon, a provider of high performance mixed-signal IP, have signed an agreement to bring Kaben’s disruptive wireless IP and design expertise to users of Triad’s via configurable arrays (VCAs).
Kaben will integrate its RF and mixed-signal design capabilities combined with Triad’s via configurable ASIC technology means that RF mixed signal ASICs, which will offer the ability to support any production volume in a wide variety of markets from military, medical, to high volume consumer applications.
Kaben CEO Ian Roane said until today, medium sized module manufacturers and board level solution providers have not been able to take advantage of the value that integrated circuit technology brings.
"The design and manufacturing costs have simply been beyond the reach of companies selling less than millions of chips per year," Roane added.
"This partnership addresses both of these areas to enable affordable integrated solutions for medium sized companies while also enabling larger volume applications to be delivered faster and at a lower cost and risk.
"Using Triad’s VCA technology means that Kaben’s advanced wireless technology can be rapidly prototyped and manufactured and we are excited to have our technology be an integral part of it."
Triad CEO Lynn Hayden said what has them really excited is now, with the Kaben partnership, they can bring all the benefits of a configurable ASIC approach to customers seeking to deliver leading-edge RF and wireless solutions.
