Precision Data Acquisition with HART Modem Industrial ASIC
This Industrial custom IC combines multiple demanding requirements into a single chip solution.
- High voltage analog inputs
- Precision analog to digital data converter
- HART Modem
Why The Customer Chose a Triad Agile ASIC™
- Higher volume industrial application - unit cost a major consideration
- New product-line - fast time to market critical
- Due to aggressive product launch date - crucial that ASIC development schedule be maintained
The customer evaluated both full-custom-only and Agile ASIC potential solutions. Triad's Agile ASIC solution cost beat out full-custom-only solutions. And, the Agile ASIC approach offered significant time-to-market and future-proof advantages.
Agile ASIC Benefits for this Project:
- Ability to re-spin the Agile ASIC in 4-weeks with ViaOnly™ single mask layer changes
- Ability to add new features to the ASIC for derivative products utilizing ViaOnly changes
