An Agile ASIC Concept

Agile ASICs are full custom ASICs designed to your spec & they are re-configurable

What that means for you…

Year+ faster to market

>70% development cost savings

Triad Proprietary & Strictly Confidential© Triad Semiconductor, 2014 67

Agile ASIC Advantage

Fact: Mixed signal ASICs often require 2 to 3 re-spins to deliver a production ready device

Full-custom ASIC proposals show the time & cost from kick-off to 1st silicon

What happens if your 1st silicon needs a re-spin?

Who pays for your mistakes?

How long does it take to fix them?
