Triad Semiconductor Launches ViaDesigner Mixed-Signal Design Tool

Posted by Ken Cheung in EDA Tools on Wednesday, March 28, 2012

Triad Semiconductor and Mentor Graphics introduced ViaDesigner, which is a new electronic design automation (EDA) tool that enables system-level engineers, who have no previous IC design experience, to design their own mixed-signal configurable ASICs. The new approach to low cost, mixed-signal IC design enables new IC development in two to six months, allows respins in less than four weeks, and can reduce the cost and risk typically associated with custom mixed-signal IC design.
